What is the name of Beyoncé’s younger sister, a Grammy-winning singer?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s younger sister is singer and songwriter Solange Knowles.

Solange Piaget Knowles was born on June 24, 1986, in Houston, Texas. Like Beyoncé, she developed a career in music, but her work has generally been associated with alternative R&B, soul, funk, and art-pop influences. Her albums include Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, True, and A Seat at the Table.

Solange won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance for “Cranes in the Sky” at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards in 2017. The song appeared on A Seat at the Table, an album widely noted for its themes of identity, race, and self-definition.

Solange is not a former member of Destiny’s Child. That group’s best-known lineup included Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Their family connection sometimes causes confusion, but the sisters have distinct discographies and artistic identities.
