Which group included Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland before Beyoncé's solo career?

Destiny's Child included Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland before Beyoncé's solo career.

The group formed in Houston in the late 1990s and became one of the best-selling female groups in music history. Its best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Earlier versions included additional members, including LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett.

Destiny's Child achieved major success with songs such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” Their music often focused on independence, resilience, relationships, and self-confidence. The group's harmonies and choreography helped define mainstream R&B and pop at the turn of the century.

The group went on hiatus in 2002 and formally disbanded in 2006, although its members occasionally reunited for performances. A common mistake is to describe Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland as members of TLC; they were instead central members of Destiny's Child, which launched both women's solo careers.
