To begin with, Thomas was raised in Atlanta, Georgia, by her African-American mother of part-Puerto Rican and Tongan descent; her father Abdul Ali left them before her birth. In her school days, she was often confronted with racism, and had many struggles with classmates. After finishing high school, she wanted to become a fashion designer, however, some detours led to a job as a dancer, before she was discovered by her future manager Pebbles. A little later she signed a contract with TLC in 1991 together with Tionne Watkins and Lisa Lopes, replacing the singer Crystal Jones, who was originally planned as the third TLC member. The band, one of the most successful R & B teams in the 1990s, sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. Since the death of a member of the band, Lisa Lopes (2002), Thomas and Tionne Watkins sometimes act as a duo. In 2009, they performed in several concerts, now they are planning a new album, or even a tour will take place.

Chilli started working on her first solo in 2001 but the work stagnated as TLC simultaneously began working on their fourth studio album “3D”. It was later confirmed that the debut album’s name is “Bi-Polar”, but no release date is yet decided. In 2008, her first official single “Dumb, Dumb, Dumb” was released from the upcoming disc. No more singles have so far been confirmed to be released in the near future, as well as the album.

Talking about her acting career, Thomas has appeared in a number of television series – “The Parkers”, “The 70s Show” and “Strong Medicine” among others. In 1997, she had a small role in the movie “Have Plenty”, and in 2000 she was also featured in three television films: “Diva’s Christmas Carol”, “Love Song” and “Snow Day”. She was also one of the protagonists of the action movie “Ticker” in 2001.

In the middle of 2009, VH1 announced that Chilli would get her own reality show, and “What Chilli Wants” was released in 2010. Moreover, she has also modelled for Tommy Hilfiger, and founded her own recording label T-Ron Music.

Finally, in the personal life of Thomas, in 1991 she aborted a pregnancy whose father was her former friend and TLC producer Dallas Austin, but they later had a son in 1997. She was then in a relationship with the R & B singer Usher (2001 – 2004), but apparently separated because of the large age difference. She is still single.
