shes a native of Miami who was born with the name Katrina Le'verne Taylor on December 3, 1978, Trina originally underwent a profession as a real estate agent before she was spotted by Trick Daddy, a local Dirty South rapper. Interested in her raw talent, the gifted artist then included her in the making of his single, "Nann &^@," which surprisingly became a regional hit, even managed to enter the top 3 of Billboard Hot Rap Singles in 1999. Subsequently signed under Slip-N-Slide Records following this initial success, she quickly set out to develop her own singing career, smoothly releasing her debut album "Da Baddest @*&%^" on March 7, 2000.
