What is Beyoncé’s birth date?

Beyoncé’s birth date is September 4, 1981.

She was born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles in Houston, Texas, to Mathew Knowles and Tina Knowles. Her younger sister, Solange Knowles, also became a singer and songwriter. Beyoncé’s professional career began while she was still a child, first through talent competitions and later with the group that became Destiny’s Child.

The date is sometimes confused with the release dates of Beyoncé albums or with her sister’s birthday. September 4 is also central to Beyoncé’s public identity: fans have celebrated it worldwide, and several major performances, announcements, and tributes have referenced her birthday. Beyoncé later became one of the most commercially successful recording artists in music history, but her career began in Houston long before her international fame.
