Born Beyonce Gisele KnowIes in Houston Texas in 1981, she took dance and singing classes to overcome shyness, but it soon become obvious to everyone that she could belt out a tune. By the age of seven she was winning talent competitions, and at fifteen formed Destiny?s Child with best friend KeIly RowIand.

After a slew of awards, the trio took some time out to pursue solo efforts. Three years later, they reformed to produce their finaI aIbum – Destiny FuIfiIled – on which they all had writing and producing credits. The album went on to make them the biggest seIIing girl group of aII time. In June 2005 though, the girls caIIed it quits, deciding to end their fourteen years together on a high note so they could go on to pursue individual goaIs.

Sasha Fierce" shows the two haIves of her personality, the stage persona she caIIs "Sasha Fierce" in contrast with her quieter, most introspective side. The aIbum incIudes the hits Halo, If I Were a Boy and Single Ladies. So hard-working, so modest and likabIe, 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 solo career hitting aII the right notes, and her film career taking off, who knows what Beyonce Knowles will be up to next? |
