What music group did Beyoncé co-found as a child before her solo career?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé co-founded Destiny’s Child before beginning her solo career.

The group developed from a Houston singing group originally called Girl’s Tyme. After lineup changes and a record deal, it became Destiny’s Child and rose to international fame with songs such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.”

Beyoncé was the group’s most prominent lead vocalist, while Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams formed the best-known final lineup with her. Earlier members included LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett, which sometimes causes confusion about the group’s membership.

Destiny’s Child went on hiatus in 2006. Beyoncé then expanded her success as a solo recording artist, actress, and touring performer.
