Tink has dated Don Marley in the past. She is currently believed to be single.
She considers Alicia Keys and the band ‘TLC’ her idols. Teyana Taylor and Rihanna have been her style icons.
She has also used her music to uplift women and has supported causes such as the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement.
Trinity Laure’Ale Home was born on March 18, 1995, in Calumet City, Illinois. Tink started singing in churches at the age of 5.
She was only 11 when she started writing songs. She was 15 when she started producing music and rapping in her father’s basement studio.
By the time she was 16, Tink and her brother had posted their first music clip online and had started receiving compliments from the local listeners. The clip showed her freestyling to Clipse’s ‘Grindin.’
She attended Chicago’s ‘Simeon Career Academy.’ She participated in various talent shows there.
She was nicknamed “Tink” by her high-school mates and decided to adopt it as her stage name. Tink believes that she has created 75% of her music with her father, who is a sound engineer.
Tin began her career in 2011, when she released her debut mixtape, ‘Winter’s Diary.’ She was represented by ‘Lyrical Eyes Management’ and was still in high school then.
In 2012, she released two more mixtapes: ‘Alter Ego’ and ‘Blunts & Ballads.’ In 2013, she released her fourth mixtape, ‘Boss Up.’
She was also featured in ‘Future Brown’s debut single, ‘Wanna Party.’ Soon, Tink started receiving offers from various music labels and records.
Her meetings with labels, however, proved to be futile, and Tink claimed she was comfortable being an independent artist. Her next mixtape, ‘Winter’s Diary 2: Forever Yours,’ was released in 2014 and became a major hit.
The album was ranked eighth by ‘Rolling Stone’ and ninth by ‘Billboard’ that year. During this time, she also collaborated with artists such as ‘Sleigh Bells,’ with whom she released a single titled ‘That Did It,’ and Kelela, with whom she released ‘Want It.’
Tink was featured in a ‘WorldStarHipHop’ documentary that highlighted Chicago’s hip-hop scene. The documentary was titled ‘The Field: Chicago.’
