Beyoncé’s childhood singing group that later became Destiny’s Child was called Girl’s Tyme.
Girl’s Tyme formed in Houston in 1990 and included Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and later members who participated in the group’s changing early lineups. The young performers entered talent competitions and developed a reputation for tightly choreographed R&B performances.
The group appeared on the television program Star Search in 1993, although it did not win. After that experience, the members and their families continued working toward a recording career. The act eventually changed its name to Destiny’s Child before signing with Columbia Records.
The name is sometimes written as “Girls Tyme,” but reference sources commonly identify the early group as Girl’s Tyme. Destiny’s Child later became one of the best-selling female groups in music history, with Beyoncé as its most prominent member.
