Miami's own Katrina Taylor was born in Miami and was a popular student
at Miami Northwestern High School. A majorette, she was also voted "Best Dressed" in her senior class. She
made a living working the night shift at AT&T as a telemarketer, then got a job as an exotic dancer at a club in
Fort Lauderdale. She used the money she earned through dancing to pay her tuition at real estate school, and quit dancing
once she completed her studies.
Katrina suffered many hardships growing up in Miami but battled through it all by simply believing that dreams can come true and by putting faith in her dreams. She knew someday everything would change for her. She had never considered a carrer in music until one day she was spotted by local rapper Trick Daddy, who helped her on her way to stardom. She then shortened her name to just "Trina" and appeared on Trick Daddy's hit "Nann Nigga". Trick Daddy's Slip-N-Slide record label noticed her much praised rapping ablities and rising popularity and continued to team her up with the fellow Miami native. Trina repesented a sexy, rugged, driven look that wasn't new to the music world and included rivals Foxy Brown and Lil Kim. But Trina's music style drove a more controversial issue, due in part to her rebellious nature, sexual lyrics and profanity filled tracks. Her 2000 debut album, "Da Baddest Bitch" was a direct response to the male-dominated rap industry that was known for disregarding women in many hit songs. Her debut gained her a gold-certified single with "69 Ways". Between touring in 2000, Trina teamed up with many rap stars in song remixes, including Missy Elliott's "One Minute Man" and Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy." Her second album Diamond Princess featured the song "No Panties" and received major airplay. She has since had hits such as Single Again, Look Back At Me, Dont Trip, and Killing You Hoes. And she is Still Da Baddest!
