TG4 (Tomgirls Forever) was an American R&B quartet. The group consisted of members Keisha Henry, Davida Williams, Amber (Ambee) Streeter aka Sevyn Streeter, and Ashley Gallo.
The group was assembled by Chris Strokes and was signed to T.U.G. Entertainment, where Stokes served as their manager. He offered Ambee (aka Sevyn Streeter) the first spot in the T.U.G./A&M group after she opened for B2K and IMX at a concert in Orlando, Florida in early 2001. Davida, Ashley, and Keisha fell in line after a series of successful auditions. The name TG4 is shorthand for TomGirls 4 Eva. "We're like four Tom Girls," said Ambee, who tied for the winning slot on Apollo Kids when she was 10. "'When you're a girl and you act like a boy, you're a tomboy. We're girls and we act like guys but love being girls, so we're tom girls." The group's only major single was "Virginity", which peaked at number 88 on the US Billboard R&B chart in 2002. Their second single from the album was "2 Minutes", which a music video was filmed for. It failed to chart on any Billboard chart. The group parted ways with their original label and their album, Time for the New, was shelved indefinitely. After Davida Williams departed from the group to focus on her acting career, they renamed the group Tomgirls 4 Eva and they were signed to Soul Chemistry. Shortly thereafter, the group disbanded.
TG4 notable performances were on Soul Train and the Scream II tour with Lil' Bow Wow and B2K. In addition, the group had featured cameos in IMx's "Ain't No Need" video and B2K's "Why I Love You" video.
Towards the time of the group's dissolution, member Davida Williams left the group to pursue an acting career. Keisha Henry made an appearance on the CW reality television show Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious.
