Trivia: |
She
is the lead singer and founder of Destiny's
Child.
|
|
She
began her career at the age of 7 when she auditioned
for a role in a child singing group. The group was
made up of her, Latavia Roberson, Beyonce's cousin,
Kelly Rowland and LeToya Luckett. Her musical influences
include, The Supremes, Jackson 5. She and the other
members of her group started off small, doing local
events but got their break when performing on Star
Search. Their young energy and sound was a revelation
for Hip Hop/ R&B music during the 90's. Soon after
that Destiny's Child got it's formal name and started
doing bigger gigs and were the opening act for other
groups like SWV, Dru Hill and Immature. They released
their self titled album in 1998 and Beyonce was
the cornerstone in the group. Working out most of
the lyrics and sound for the new group. She was
the dominent lead singer in the group and no one
could dispute.
Beyonce
was responsible for most of the lyrics for hit songs,
NO, NO, NO, BILLS, BILLS, BILLs and many of their
other top 10 hits. In March of 2000 LeToya and Latavia
left Destiny's Child because Beyonce and Matthew
Knowles were causing them distress and not giving
them the freedom to develop as artists on their
own and contribute. Two replacements, Michelle Williams
and Farrah Franklin were hired to take their place
and keep the band going. Beyonce got her first big
film break in the Austin Powers: In Goldmember.
Besides that her recent song, Survivor with Destiny's
Child has cemented her superstardom. She will most
likely be appearing in other Hollywood productions
and will continue to perform her music. We wish
all the best for her. |
