Which group included Beyoncé before her solo career?

The story behind the answer

Destiny’s Child was the group that included Beyoncé before her solo career.

The group formed in Houston in the 1990s and developed from an earlier act called Girl’s Tyme. Its best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Destiny’s Child became one of the most successful female groups in music history through tightly arranged R&B and pop songs.

The group’s major hits included “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” “Bootylicious,” and “Independent Women Part I.” “Independent Women Part I” appeared on the soundtrack for the 2000 film Charlie’s Angels and became one of the group’s biggest successes.

Destiny’s Child officially disbanded after performing together at the 2006 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Beyoncé’s time in the group provided vocal, recording, choreography, and touring experience that supported her later solo career. The members also reunited for selected performances, including Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl halftime show.
