Tamar Braxton

Tamar Braxton (born March 17, 1977 in Severn , Maryland ) is an American R&B singer. She was a former member of the R&B group The Braxtons and is also the youngest sister of the singer Toni Braxton .

Career

Braxton started her career with her sisters as The Braxtons back in 1990 at the age of 13. Together they released the debut single "Good Life", written by the German songwriting duo Klarmann / Weber . The title reached number 79 on the US R&B and hip-hop charts. After the failure of the single, the record company Arista Records decided to fire the group. While her older sister Toni was discovered shortly afterwards by Babyface and LA Ried and signed to LaFace Records , Tamar and her sisters Towanda, Traci and Trina remained without a record deal.

From then on, she and her siblings were background singers for Toni Braxton. They can be heard on many of the singer's hit songs and can also be seen in the video "Seven Whole Days". In 1996 they got another contract with Atlantic Records and released their debut album So Many Ways six years after the single . The album reached number 113 on the Billboard 200 and top 30 on the R&B and hip-hop album charts. The following singles are similarly mediocre in the charts. The title track and two other singles reach the UK Top 40 , but none of the US songs made it onto the Billboard Hot 100 .

In 1999 Braxton began working on her solo debut entitled Ridiculous . She received support from producer Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. In January 2000, a redesigned version of the album called Tamar was released on the Dreamworks Records label. The first single was the song "Get None", a collaboration with rapper and producer Jermaine Dupri and rapper Amil . The song reached number 59 on the US R&B and hip-hop charts. The second single "If You Don't Wanna Love Me" received similarly little attention and reached position 30 on the R&B and hip-hop charts and position 34 on the dance charts. As a result, she lost her record deal again.

In 2001 her song "Try Me" appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Kingdom Come with Toni Braxton, LL Cool J , Jada Pinkett-Smith , Anthony Anderson , Cedric the Entertainer , Vivica A. Fox and Whoopi Goldberg in the lead roles. The title was a collaboration with Kirk Franklin's One Nation crew. Furthermore, she sang background on Toni Braxton's albums More Than A Woman (2002) and album Libra (2005) and during Toni Braxton's tours she was also a background singer. In the meantime she released the single "I'm Leaving" in 2004 under the label Casablanca Records .

Another single followed in July 2010 with the title "The Heart in Me". The song appeared on the mixtape Hasan presents Adidas 2: The Music . That same year, she made a guest appearance on the reality show Tiny & Toya on Black Entertainment Television . In 2011 she sang the backing vocals for Lady Gaga's worldwide hit single Born This Way . From April 2011, the reality TV series Braxton Family Values ​​ran weekly on WE tv.
