Which group first made Beyoncé famous as a member?

The story behind the answer

Destiny’s Child first made Beyoncé famous as a member.

The group developed from Girl’s Tyme, a Houston-area girl group formed in the early 1990s. Its best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, although the group had earlier members and lineup changes.

Destiny’s Child became one of the best-selling female groups in music history. Their major songs included “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” “Bootylicious,” and “Independent Women.” Beyoncé served as the group’s lead singer and became its most prominent songwriter and performer.

The group announced a hiatus in 2002 and formally disbanded in 2006, after which Beyoncé continued her solo career. A common confusion is assuming she began as a solo artist; her professional breakthrough came through Destiny’s Child.
