Which group did Beyoncé join as a founding member in the 1990s?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé joined Destiny’s Child as a founding member in the 1990s.

The group developed from a Houston singing group called Girl’s Tyme, which appeared on the television talent show Star Search in 1993. Its early lineup changed several times before the group became widely known as Destiny’s Child.

Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams formed the best-known trio lineup. Destiny’s Child became one of the most successful girl groups in music history, with hits such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.”

Beyoncé’s membership in the group preceded her solo career, but it did not prevent her from releasing solo work while Destiny’s Child was active. The group announced a hiatus in 2002 and formally disbanded in 2006.
