Early Life & Childhood of Tink
On March 18, 1995, Trinity Laure’Ale Home was born in Calumet City, Illinois. At age five, Tink began singing at churches.
She began penning songs at the age of eleven. She began writing songs and rapping in her father’s basement studio when she was fifteen years old.
By the time Tink turned sixteen, she and her brother had uploaded their first music video on the internet and were getting praise from local listeners. She was seen freestyling to Clipse’s “Grindin” in the video.
She went to the “Simeon Career Academy” in Chicago. There, she took part in several talent shows.
Her high school friends gave her the moniker “Tink,” which she chose to use as her stage name. According to Tink, she co-wrote 75% of her songs with her sound engineer father.
Her favorite subject is English since it makes her a better writer. Tink originally intended to become a radio show host rather than a singer, despite being one of Chicago’s most talked-about writers.
She kept working on her music after reading encouraging comments about it on social media, and she eventually achieved recognition as a musician.
Career of Tink
When Tin published her debut mixtape, “Winter’s Diary,” in 2011, she officially launched her career. She was still a high school student at the time and was represented by “Lyrical Eyes Management.”
She put out two more mixtapes in 2012, “Alter Ego” and “Blunts & Ballads.” “Boss Up,” her fourth mixtape, was released in 2013.
Additionally, she had a cameo in Future Brown’s first hit, “Wanna Party.” Tink soon began getting offers from records and music labels.

2015 was the release year specified in her contract with Timbaland’s company for her debut album. Still, there was a delay in the project.
Timbaland chose to postpone the album, Tink revealed to “The FADER.” Timbaland said that the late singer Aaliyah had visited him and called Tink “the one” before the album’s debut.
She was prohibited from sharing her new music with her fans by the terms of her contract with “Mosley and Epic.” This was quite restricting and annoying to her. She then decided to cancel her deal with Timbaland’s label and got ready to start over.
