Tamar Estine Braxton-Herbert /ˈteɪˌmɑr/ (born March 17, 1977), commonly known by her maiden name Tamar Braxton, is a Grammy-nominated American singer, songwriter, actress, and reality television personality. She is the youngest sister of R&B singing icon Toni Braxton. Braxton had her first big break in music in 1992 as a founding member of the R&B group, The Braxtons, formed with her sisters. After losing two members, The Braxtons released their only album, So Many Ways, as a trio in 1996 along with four singles: "So Many Ways", "Only Love", "The Boss", and "Slow Flow".

In 2000, Braxton began her solo career, after signing with DreamWorks Records and releasing her self-titled debut album. The album was unsuccessful, charting at number 127 on the Billboard 200. It spawned two singles, "Get None" and "If You Don't Wanna Love Me". The label, unsatisfied with the album's performance, dropped Braxton from the label.
