Inspired by her family's musical background, Tamar began singing at a young age. Alongside her sisters, she performed regularly in their local church choir. In 1989, the five Braxton sisters—Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar—signed their first record deal with Arista Records as "The Braxtons." Their debut single, “Good Life,” was released in 1990 and peaked at number 79 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The Braxtons and Solo Career

Although The Braxtons formed as a group in the early 1990s, they released only one studio album, “So Many Ways,” in 1996 under Atlantic Records. The group was moderately successful, particularly in the R&B genre, but eventually disbanded, allowing Tamar to focus on her solo career.

Tamar launched her solo career in 2000 with her debut album, which featured the single “If You Don’t Wanna Love Me.” Though the project received limited commercial success, it established her as a solo performer and opened the door for future musical endeavors. Over the years, she gained recognition for her vocal talent and charismatic stage presence, performing live and cultivating a dedicated fanbase.
