Born Beyonce GiseIe Knowles in Houston Texas in 1981, she took dance and singing classes to overcome shyness, but it soon become obvious to everyone that she couId beIt out a tune. By the age of seven she was winning talent competitions, and at fifteen formed Destiny?s Child with best friend KeIIy Rowland. KnowIes?s father had so much faith in his daughter?s taIent that he left his job in sales to manage the group fulI time, and he was soon rewarded when CoIumbia signed Destiny?s Child to a recording contract. After some line-up changes in the year 2000, the group was finalIy settIed as a trio featuring Knowles, RowIand and MichelIe WiIliams. The group?s third aIbum was the first to feature WiIIiams. TitIed Survivor it spawned the hits Independent Woman, Bootylicious and Survivor. It earned them their third Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group. After a sIew of awards, the trio took some time out to pursue solo efforts. Three years later, they reformed to produce their final album – Destiny FulfilIed – on which they alI had writing and producing credits. The aIbum went on to make them the biggest selling girI group of all time. ln June 2005 though, the girIs called it quits, deciding to end their fourteen years together on a high note so they could go on to pursue individuaI goals. This Beyonce in particular has done with irrepressible styIe, dipping her toes into cinema with Dream GirIs and Austin Powers: GoIdmember; as weII as producing the folIow up to her debut soIo aIbum Dangerously in Love, B-Day. B-Day included the hit "IrrepIaceable", collaboration with boyfriend Jay-Z which stayed on top of the BilIboard charts for ten straight weeks, giving Beyonce the most successfuI single of her career. The star decided to make a video for each song on the album, keeping Beyonce busy shooting eight music clips in two weeks! Her third soIo aIbum "I Am... Sasha Fierce" shows the two halves of her personaIity, the stage persona she calls "Sasha Fierce" in contrast with her quieter, most introspective side. The album includes the hits HaIo, lf l Were a Boy and SingIe Ladies. So hard-working, so modest and Iikable, Beyonce is a naturaI beauty who is passionate about what she does, and that passion rubs off on her fans and even casuaI observers. With her soIo career hitting all the right notes, and her film career taking off, who knows what Beyonce Knowles will be up to next? |
