TG4 (an abbreviation for Tomgirls 4 Eva) was a female quartet from the United States specializing in R&B. The group consisted of Keisha Henry, Davida Williams, Sevyn Streeter (also known as Ambee), and Ashley Gallo.
Music career
TG4 was put together by Chris Stokes and signed under his management at T.U.G. Entertainment. The formation began when Sevyn Streeter earned the initial position after performing as an opening act for B2K and IMX in 2001. Following successful auditions, Davida, Ashley, and Keisha joined the ensemble. The name TG4 represents Tom Girls 4, symbolizing their blend of tomboyish style with feminine qualities.
Their lead single, "Virginity," peaked at number 88 on the US Billboard R&B chart in 2002. The subsequent release, "2 Minutes," was accompanied by a music video but failed to chart. After leaving their initial record label, their album Time for the New was indefinitely postponed. When Davida Williams departed to focus on acting, the group rebranded as Tomgirls 4 Eva and signed with Soul Chemistry before eventually disbanding.
Performances and appearances
Noteworthy appearances by TG4 include performances on Soul Train and participation in the Scream II tour alongside acts such as Lil' Bow Wow and B2K. Additionally, they made cameo appearances in music videos for IMx's "Ain't No Need" and B2K's "Why I Love You."
After TG4
Following the group's dissolution, Davida Williams shifted her focus to an acting career. Keisha Henry took part in the reality series Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious aired on CW.
Sevyn Streeter was discovered by Rich Harrison via MySpace and subsequently signed to his RichCraft label. In 2007, she became a member of Harrison's girl group, RichGirl, which was associated with Jive Records and RichCraft. Although their debut album never saw release, work on it occurred between 2009 and 2011. During this period, they issued the promotional single "24" featuring Bun B., along with official singles "He Ain't wit Me Now (Tho)" and "Swagger Right". After limited commercial impact, RichGirl released the mixtape Fall in Love with RichGirl on Valentine's Day 2011 before disbanding as members pursued solo paths. On March 21, 2012, Sevyn confirmed her exit from the group and her new signing with Chris Brown's CBE imprint through the release of her track "Red Handed."
