Which group included Beyoncé before her solo career became globally famous?

Beyoncé was a member of Destiny’s Child before becoming a globally famous solo artist.

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

Destiny’s Child released successful albums such as The Writing’s on the Wall and Survivor. Their hits included “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” The group’s vocal harmonies, choreography, and themes of independence helped define mainstream R&B and pop at the turn of the century.

The group announced a hiatus in 2002 and formally disbanded in 2006. Beyoncé’s later solo success did not erase Destiny’s Child’s importance: the group provided the professional training and public platform that preceded her individual career.
