• Name — Tina Barrett • Birth Name — Tina Ann Barrett • Born — 16 September 1976 • Birthplace — Hammersmith, London, England • Occupation — *Singer • actress • Years Active — 1996–present

Tina Barrett was born in Hammersmith, London, England, to an English father and a Guyanese mother. She was at London's Arts Educational School for eight years. Her first job was dancing in a pantomime with Lionel Blair, and she was a dancer in videos and TV performances for music artists, most notably Pulp as a showgirl in their video for "This Is Hardcore", and as an extra in the video for "You're the One I Love" by Shola Ama. She was originally going to be in the group Face2Face, which went on to become Mis-Teeq, and assisted with the group's choreography.

In 1996, Barrett, Alesha Dixon and Sabrina Washington became friends in a dance studio in Fulham. The trio, named Face2Face, performed singing and dancing. The group had started work on their debut album when Barrett left to join S Club 7 after a successful audition for Simon Fuller. After her departure, the group changed their name to Mis-Teeq and replaced her with two new members, Su-Elise Nash and Zena McNally.

Barrett became a member of S Club after a series of auditions, along with members Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O'Meara, Hannah Spearritt and Rachel Stevens in 1999. During five years they released four number one singles and one number one album. They also had a series of TV shows, which were: Miami 7, L.A. 7, Hollywood 7 and Viva S Club, and they also starred in a film, Seeing Double. Barrett led some of the tracks on the groups' albums, such as "I'll Be There" and "Stronger", which was set to be a single, but was canceled when Paul Cattermole left the group. The song, along with the remixes, was eventually only released as a promotional single. Barrett co-wrote two other songs that she also led: "Discotek" (the B-side to the single "Alive") and "Secret Love", a song from the group's final album Seeing Double. The six remaining members stayed together as "S Club" until 2003, when they split after releasing their greatest hits album. When the group announced they were to break up, Barrett expressed interest in working on a solo career, but she was unsuccessful to sign with a label or an entrepreneur. She took a nine-year hiatus from her career, appearing only on red carpets and social events.

In March 2016, Barrett announced she was pregnant with her first child. Three months later, she gave birth to a boy.
