What group did Beyoncé become a founding member of in the 1990s?

Beyoncé became a founding member of Destiny’s Child, the group that rose from a Houston-based girl group in the 1990s.

The group began under the name Girl’s Tyme, with Beyoncé and LaTavia Roberson among its early members. After changes in its lineup and management, the act was renamed Destiny’s Child and signed to Columbia Records.

Destiny’s Child became one of the best-selling female groups in music history. Its best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, although the group had earlier members and lineup changes.

A common mix-up is to describe Destiny’s Child as Beyoncé’s solo backing group. It was a recording group in its own right, and Beyoncé’s later solo career began while she was still associated with it. The group went on hiatus in 2002 and later announced its final disbandment.
