Trina & Tamara are an American contemporary R&B group from Gary, Indiana who were active in the late 1990s. The group was composed of sisters Trina Powell (born April 18, 1974) and Tamara Powell. They are the younger sisters of fellow contemporary R&B singer Jesse Powell. In 1997, the duo appeared on the song "My Love Is the Shhh!" by Somethin' for the People, which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their only album, the eponymous Trina & Tamara, was released in 1999; it peaked at #99 on the Billboard R&B chart.
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 fallout) as sisters, songwriters, and women. It is slated to be released on March 15, 2017.
