Rozonda Ocielian Thomas, aka Chilli, is a singer-songwriter, dancer, actress, television personality, and model.

She rose to fame in the early 1990s as a member of group TLC, one of the best-selling girl groups of the 20th century.

Thomas was first a dancer for Damian Dame. In 1991, she joined TLC, replacing the founding member Crystal Jones, and was nicknamed "Chilli" by Lisa Lopes so that the group could keep the name TLC.

The group sold over 65 million records worldwide and became the best-selling American girl group ever. Chilli has won four Grammy Awards for her work with TLC.

Thomas began working on her solo album in 2000 after the completion of promotion for TLC's third album, FanMail (1999). She ceased production when work began on the next TLC album, 3D (2002).

In January 2016, she released a new solo single, "Body,” promoting her new fitness workout campaign.

​In 2019, Thomas lost her voice and was ordered by doctors not to sing. TLC then had to cancel their singing for the California State Fair and the Stanislaus State Fair.
