She was born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles on September 4, 1981, in Houston. The city became an important part of her public story because she grew up there and began performing locally before her international career developed.

Houston is also associated with several other major stages in her early life, including school, church, talent competitions, and the formation of the group that became Destiny’s Child.

Her family later moved within the Houston area while she was growing up, and the city continued to be cited as her hometown.
