Tyka was a singer who released four albums during her career and was notably the only full sibling of legendary singer Prince. After his passing in 2016, she was dedicated to preserving his legacy, playing a crucial role in transforming Prince’s recording studio and concert venue, Paisley Park, into a museum that honors his life and artistry.
