Which group launched Beyoncé’s music career before her solo work?

Destiny’s Child launched Beyoncé’s music career before her solo work.

The group formed in Houston in the 1990s and initially performed under other names, including Girl’s Tyme. After signing with Columbia Records, the group became Destiny’s Child and released its self-titled debut album in 1998.

Beyoncé was the group’s lead vocalist and a principal songwriter. Destiny’s Child became one of the best-selling female groups in music history, with major singles such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” The lineup changed over time, but Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams became the best-known trio.

The group went on hiatus in 2002 as Beyoncé’s solo career expanded. Destiny’s Child later reunited for selected performances, including an appearance at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show. Their group experience gave Beyoncé early training in choreography, vocal arrangement, recording, and live performance.
