Trina & Tamara are an American R&B duo from Gary, Indiana,[1] who were active in the late 1990s. The group was composed of sisters Trina Powell (born April 18, 1974)[2][3] and Tamara Powell. They are the younger sisters of fellow contemporary R&B singer Jesse Powell.[1] In 1997, the duo appeared on the song "My Love Is the Shhh!" by Somethin' for the People, which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] Their next single, "What'd You Come Here For?" was released in 1999. It peaked at number 14 on the Billboard R&B chart,[5] and number 56 on the Hot 100.[6] Their album, the eponymous Trina & Tamara, was released shortly after[7] and peaked at number 99 on the Billboard R&B albums chart.[8]

In 2016, the sisters announced they were working on an autobiographical book titled The Sisterfriend Journey, which is based on their relationship (and many years of fallout) as sisters, songwriters, and women.[9] It was released on March 15, 2017.[10][11][12][13]
