Beyoncé Knowles was born on September 4, 1981 in Houston, Texas. She began singing at age 8 and formed the group Destiny’s Child with two childhood friends, Kelly Rowland and LaTavia Roberson, at age 9. In 1997, the group signed with Columbia Records and released their first album, Destiny’s Child.
Destiny’s Child’s rise to fame
Destiny’s Child quickly gained popularity due to their mix of R&B and hip hop. Their second album, “The Writing’s on the Wall”, became a huge commercial success thanks to the singles “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Say My Name”, both of which reached the top of the American charts.
In 2000, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett left the group and were replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. However, Franklin left the group just a few months later and Destiny’s Child continued as a trio.
In 2001, the group released their fourth album, “Survivor,” which debuted at number one on the US charts and spawned such hits as “Survivor” and “Bootylicious.” In 2002, the group temporarily disbanded and Beyoncé began her solo career.

Over the years, Beyoncé has continued to release hit albums such as “B’Day,” “I Am… Sasha Fierce” and “4.” She has also collaborated with other successful artists such as Jay-Z and Lady Gaga.
