Which group did Beyoncé join with Kelly Rowland before her solo career?

The story behind the answer

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

The group developed from a Houston singing group originally called Girl’s Tyme. Its lineup changed several times, but the best-known final lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams.

Destiny’s Child became one of the most successful girl groups in music history, with hits such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” The group announced a hiatus in 2001, reunited for later projects, and officially disbanded in 2006.

Kelly Rowland was also closely connected to Beyoncé’s family and career from childhood. Michelle Williams joined the group in 2000, helping form the trio most audiences associate with Destiny’s Child’s peak commercial period.
