BEFORE THE FAME
Trinity Laure’Ale Home was born on March 18, 1995, in Calumet City, Illinois, roughly 20 miles south of Chicago. She was nicknamed “Tink” by friends in elementary school and has used the name ever since. She started singing in church when she was five years old and began writing songs at age 11, including some for her father’s friends. She attended Simeon Career Academy in Chicago, where she participated in talent shows and joined the school choir. English was one of her favorite subjects because it helped her become a stronger writer. She started rapping and recording music in her father’s basement studio at age 15. At 16, she and her brother posted a clip of her freestyling over Clipse‘s “Grindin'” to Facebook and received local buzz.
