What was the name of the girl group that became Destiny’s Child?

The girl group that became Destiny’s Child was originally called Girl’s Tyme.

Beyoncé, LaTavia Roberson, Kelly Rowland, and Támar Davis were among the young performers associated with Girl’s Tyme in the early 1990s. The group competed on the television program Star Search in 1993, though it did not win.

The lineup and name changed as the members pursued a professional recording career. After further development and management by Mathew Knowles, the group signed with Columbia Records and adopted the name Destiny’s Child. The group’s first major commercial success came in the late 1990s.

Destiny’s Child later became one of the best-selling female groups in music history, with hits including “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” Girl’s Tyme is an early name, not a separate later group or the title of a Destiny’s Child album.
