Tink Reflects on Her Journey from Teenage Phenom to R&B Powerhouse


As she approaches 30, Tink opens up about the challenges of life on the road, her evolution as an artist, and her determination to stay grounded while defying industry expectations.

When BET.com spoke with Tink recently on an off day as an opener for Jhene Aiko’ s national The Magic Hour tour, she acknowledged the challenges of being away from home for extended periods. Tink shares that when she creates music, she's most influenced by the voices of her fans, particularly the young women in Chicago who connect deeply with her tales of heartbreak, struggle, and resilience.
