Which group did Beyoncé join as a teenager before becoming a solo artist?

Beyoncé joined Destiny’s Child as a teenager before becoming a solo artist.

The group developed from a Houston singing act called Girl’s Tyme, which competed on the television program Star Search in 1993. After lineup changes and a record deal with Columbia Records, the group became Destiny’s Child. Its early members included Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett.

Destiny’s Child became one of the best-selling female groups in music history. Major songs included “No, No, No,” “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” The lineup changed during the group’s career, eventually settling on Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams.

The group announced a hiatus in 2005 after the final leg of its Destiny Fulfilled tour. Beyoncé had already begun her solo career with Dangerously in Love in 2003. Destiny’s Child later made reunion appearances, including Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and her 2018 Coachella performance.
