Beyonce Knowles was born on the 4th of September, 1981
in Houston, Texas, USA, as Beyoncé Giselle Knowles. Her
African American parents named her in tribute of her French speaking
grandmother. Beyonce has a younger sister called Solange Knowles
(she is also an actress and singer).
Like many African American singers before her, Knowles started
her singing career in her church choir. She was also taking dance
classes from a very early age and entering singing/dance competitions
regularly.
Along with her cousin Kelly Rowland and friends LaTavia Robertson
and Letoya Luckett, Beyonce formed a group called "Girl's
Tyme". Beyonce's father Matthew Knowles saw the potential
of the ambitious quartet and quit his high job to manage the group.
It forced the Knowles family to struggle financially while the
group improved, but they were eventually signed to Columbia records
in 1996.
The group became "Destiny's Child" and were an almost
instant hit with the public. The four became three and lost two
founding members Letoya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson after disagreements
in the group. Destiny's Child released 7 albums over a period
of almost ten years. With the great success that the group brought
them, Beyonce Knowles decided to pursue a solo career and the
band finished in 2005.
Her 2003 solo debut called "Dangerously in Love" was
a great success. One hit single from the album called "Crazy
in Love" featured the famous rapper Jay-Z. Her second solo
studio album titled "B'Day" released in 2006 has also
been a worldwide hit for Knowles.
Beyonce Knowles has also made a career for herself in acting with
major roles in films like "Austin Powers in Goldmember",
"The Fighting Temptations", and "The Pink Panther".
