Which group included Beyoncé before she became a solo recording artist?

Before becoming a solo recording artist, Beyoncé was a member of Destiny’s Child.

The group formed in Houston in the 1990s and originally performed under other names, including 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 girl groups in music history.

The group’s major albums included The Writing’s on the Wall, Survivor, and Destiny Fulfilled. Hits such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious” helped define its commercial peak. Destiny’s Child went on hiatus in 2002, and Beyoncé’s debut solo album followed in 2003. Earlier and later lineups are sometimes conflated, but the group’s final famous trio did not include every original member.
