"T," born Yoon Mi-rae, is a female hip-hop artist who made her debut as a member of Uptown. Yoon came into the spotlight as a female singer with a distinctive vocal talent. Yoon is also a great rapper.

Yoon was born in 1981 in the US. Her father is an African-American US military officer who was stationed in Korea and her mother is Korean. Yoon’s American name is Natasha Shanta Reid and her nickname growing up was "Baby T," which was later changed to "T" during her professional career.

In 1997, at the age of 16, Yoon debuted in the K-pop world as a member of Uptown. She was the lead vocal and the mascot of the band. However, the band had to break up due to alleged drug use by some of its members. In 2000, Yoon restarted her singing career as a member of a female duo Tashani. However, in August 2000, she was questioned under the suspicion of illegal drug use. The allegations against her were lifted but she could no longer perform as a member of Tashani. In 2001, she took on another challenge by changing her name to "T" and making her debut as a solo singer. The song "Time Goes By" was released and T’s solo debut was a success. After releasing her 3rd solo album, T had to go on hiatus due to some problems with her management agency. She soon settled those problems and hustled to release a new album.

Yoon is known for her special talents in soulful vocals and rap. She is still considered to be one of the best female rappers in Korea. In fact, in 2011, MTV iggy honored her as one of the top 12 female MCs in the world. She's also married to Tiger JK, who's considered the "godfather of Korean hip hop". Together they make up the hip hop couple of Korea. They have a son named Jordan.
