Barrett was born to an English father and Guyanese mother.
Early life
She was at London's Arts Educational School for a period of eight years. Her first job was dancing in a pantomime with Lionel Blair. She was originally going to be in the band Face 2 Face, which later went on to become Mis-Teeq. She assisted with the group's choreography during her time there.

Main article: S Club
Barrett became a member of S Club 7 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". Stronger was set to be a single, but was canceled when Paul Cattermole left the group. The six remaining members stayed together until 2003, when they split after releasing their greatest hits album.
[edit] 2004–11: Appearances and hiatus
When S Club first announced they were to break up, she expressed interest in working on a solo career. However, there was no information about Barrett beginning a career as a solo artist. In 2004, Barrett, along with singers Natasha Bedingfield and Atomic Kitten member Liz McClarnon, recorded a single, a cover of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? by Rod Stewart. She kept a relatively low profile for about six years after the split. In 2008, Tina and Jon Lee supposedly signed up to join Bradley McIntosh, Paul Cattermole and Jo O'Meara in their mini S Club pubs and clubs tour, but neither she nor Jon performed with the group.
[edit] 2012–present: Debut album
In May 2012, a teaser video for "Fire" was released on YouTube and a short clip of the still unfinished video was shown during an interview on LIVE! with Myleene Klass. The final version of the music video was finally released on 27 September 2012. Fire had a good reception from a few music sites with comments including "catchy number that deserves a chart entry" The title of the debut album hasn't been announced.
