Which group did Beyoncé join before beginning her solo career?

Beyoncé joined Destiny’s Child before beginning her solo career.

The group developed in Houston in the early 1990s under the name Girl’s Tyme, a group that included Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland. After changes in membership and a record deal, the group became Destiny’s Child. Its original self-titled album was released in 1998.

Destiny’s Child eventually became a trio of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. The lineup produced major hits including “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” The group’s success gave Beyoncé extensive experience as a vocalist, performer, and recording artist before her 2003 solo debut.

The group announced a temporary hiatus in 2002, and its members pursued individual projects. Destiny’s Child reunited for selected performances, including an appearance at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show. Beyoncé’s solo career did not replace the group’s importance: the group is one of the best-selling female groups in music history and helped define late-1990s and early-2000s R&B-pop.
