Which group included Beyoncé before her solo career became widely known?

Before her solo career became widely known, Beyoncé was a member of Destiny’s Child.

The group formed in Houston in the 1990s and eventually 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 other members, including LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett.

Destiny’s Child scored major hits such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” The group’s records emphasized vocal harmonies, confident themes, and polished R&B-pop production. Beyoncé served as its most prominent lead vocalist and a key songwriter.

Destiny’s Child went on hiatus in 2006, allowing its members to pursue individual projects. Beyoncé’s later solo success did not erase the group’s importance: the group provided the professional platform on which her global career was built.
