Trecina Evette "Tina" Campbell, born Trecina Evette Atkins in May 1974, is an American urban contemporary gospel and contemporary R&B recording artist. She was born in Inglewood, California, and raised in a Christian household. Her father, Eddie Aaron Atkins, was a minister and pastor, and her mother, Andrea “Honey” Atkins, played a significant role in raising their large family.
Tina had several siblings. She tragically lost her elder brother at a young age due to multiple health complications, including a congenital heart defect, spinal meningitis, and Down syndrome. Her surviving brother, Darrell Antoine Atkins, currently resides in Arizona. She has two older sisters—Erica Monique Atkins and Meliea Dionne Atkins—and four younger sisters: Delisa Marie "Lisa" Atkins, Thomasina Andrea Atkins, Alana Ellesse Atkins, and Shanta Nena Lavea Atkins.
Tina Campbell rose to prominence in 1998 when she and her older sister, Erica Campbell, formed the urban contemporary gospel duo Mary Mary. The pair helped redefine the genre by blending gospel with elements of soul music, hip hop, jazz, and funk. Their debut single, “Shackles (Praise You),” is widely regarded as a trailblazing track in urban contemporary gospel music and contributed to the group's widespread acclaim.
The name "Mary Mary" was inspired by two biblical figures: Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. The duo's bold fusion of gospel themes with secular music styles attracted a wide fan base and played a key role in expanding the popularity of the genre throughout the 2000s, alongside other influential artists like Kirk Franklin.
