Biography

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, known mononymously as Beyoncé, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, she rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of Destiny’s Child, one of the world’s best-selling girl groups of all time. Managed by her father, Mathew Knowles, the group became one of the best-selling girl groups in history. Their hiatus saw Beyoncé’s theatrical film debut in “Austin Powers in Goldmember” (2002) and the release of her debut album “Dangerously in Love” (2003). The album established her as a solo artist worldwide, earned five Grammy Awards, and featured the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles “Crazy in Love” and “Baby Boy”. Following the disbandment of Destiny’s Child in 2006, Beyoncé released her second solo album, “B’Day”, which contained hit singles such as “Irreplaceable” and “Beautiful Liar”. Her marriage to rapper Jay-Z and her portrayal of Etta James in the film “Cadillac Records” (2008) influenced her third album, “I Am… Sasha Fierce” (2008), which earned a record-setting six Grammy Awards in 2010. Her critically acclaimed visual albums “Beyoncé” (2013) and “Lemonade” (2016) explored themes of infidelity, feminism, and love, earning her widespread acclaim and commercial success. Known for her powerful voice, intricate performances, and dynamic stage presence, Beyoncé is regarded as one of the greatest entertainers of her generation. She has sold over 100 million records worldwide as a solo artist and a further 60 million with Destiny’s Child, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
