Which group did Beyoncé co-found with Kelly Rowland and LaTavia Roberson in the 1990s?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé co-founded Destiny’s Child with Kelly Rowland and LaTavia Roberson in the 1990s.

The group began in Houston in 1990 under the name Girl’s Tyme. Beyoncé and LaTavia were among its original members, and Kelly Rowland later joined the lineup. After changes in its membership and record-company arrangements, the group became known as Destiny’s Child.

Destiny’s Child signed with Columbia Records and achieved major success with songs including “No, No, No,” “Say My Name,” and “Survivor.” The group’s best-known final lineup consisted of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett were members during the group’s earlier period.

A common mix-up is treating Destiny’s Child as a trio from the beginning. It was a changing group with several lineups before reaching its most recognizable form. The group disbanded after its final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled, and Beyoncé then continued her solo career.
