Tamar Braxton，1977年3月17日出生于美国，是黑人天后Toni Braxton最小的妹妹，也曾是美国早期组合"The Braxtons"成员之一（由Braxton家族姐妹组成的R&B团体）。虽然没有大姐那样出名但Tamar也在自己的音乐上取得了不小的突破，她的声音继承了Toni深沉沧桑的质感，是位非常有实力的歌手。Tamar单飞有后两张专辑在手，其中一个“Ridiculous”于1999年录制完毕因为种种原因没有发行，2000年的“Tamar”也是她至今为止唯一一张大家能够听到完整歌曲的作品。The Braxtons 3姐妹在美国应该是家喻户晓的音乐组合，90年代初Toni Braxton被LA Reid及Babyface一眼相中成为Laface公司的签约歌手，在获得无数奖项后，不仅让Toni成为Laface的“第一夫人”也为Braxtons家族赢得了史无前例的荣誉和名声。在Braxtons家族中排行老三的Tamar在家族组合The Braxtons中表现的可圈可点，虽然被人诟病声音不够有自己的特色，好似在模仿姐姐Toni的唱腔，但是Tamar天生活泼外向的性格，加上她那和Toni一样对灵魂乐精准的拿捏，使人神魂颠倒的嗓音，即使被人说是模仿Toni, 在那个90年代R&B横行天下的年代，即便是10个Toni Braxton也不能满足听众对纯正灵魂音乐的渴求，更何况是Toni的亲妹妹Tamar这样一个灵魂尤物。终于在2000年，Tamar离开了The Braxton家族组合，发行了自己第一张也是唯一一张个人专集。专集中请来了好朋友Tim Kelly 和Bob Robinson为自己制作歌曲，这两位美国节奏蓝调的超级音乐人利用Tamar的嗓音特点制作了一曲曲动人抒情佳品，流畅的旋律加上 Tamar深情至极的灵魂嗓音，果然不辱The Braxtons音乐世家的美名。

演艺经历
She debuted in 1990 as one-fifth of the sibling group the Braxtons. The quartet released one single, the number 79 Billboard R&B single "Good Life" for Arista in 1990.
They were dropped from the label, but Toni was subsequently signed by LaFace and featured her sisters as part of her backing group.
Minus Toni and Traci, the Braxtons signed to Atlantic and released So Many Ways in 1996.
Braxton eventually left the group to establish a solo career on the Dreamworks label. After a false start,
she released a self-titled album in 2000 that placed two singles on the charts, including the Top 40 R&B hit "If You Don't Wanna Love Me" co-written by Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and Xscape's LaTocha Scott.
She continued to perform background vocals for Toni's albums and was briefly signed to Casablanca, though the association did not pan out. Braxton took part in the reality series Braxton Family Values and Tamar & Vince and signed to Epic for another shot at solo fame.
Her December 2012 single "Love and War" peaked at number five on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart
2013年 and preceded her album of the same title, released the following September. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. Only two months later, she released the holiday album Winter Loversland. Three Grammy nominations followed shortly thereafter. Love and War was up for Best Contemporary R&B Album, and the title song -- which Braxton co-wrote -- was nominated for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.
As she maintained her reality television profile and other small and big-screen work, Braxton recorded her third proper studio album, Calling All Lovers, which entered the Billboard 200 at number five in October 2015. The set boasted a pair of Top 20 R&B/hip-hop hits with the slow jam "Let Me Know" (featuring Future) and the pleading ballad "If I Don't Have You." The latter became Braxton's second recording nominated for a Grammy in the Best R&B Performance category.
She then started her own label, Tamartian Land, and returned in September 2017 with Bluebird of Happiness. A Top 20 album, it was led by "My Man," a number 21 R&B/hip-hop single inspired by one of her relationships and the divorce of her parents (a result of her father's infidelity).
Over the next several years, Braxton released the occasional single, including 2023's "Changed" (another number 21 R&B/hip-hop hit)
and 2024's "Notice Me." A duet with Eric Benét on "Something We Can Make Love To" arrived shortly after the latter.
