Which Houston music group did Beyoncé lead before beginning her solo career?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé led Destiny’s Child before beginning her solo career.

Destiny’s Child formed in Houston, Texas, in the 1990s and became one of the best-selling female vocal groups in music history. Beyoncé served as the group’s lead vocalist, while Kelly Rowland was another constant member during its most successful period.

The group’s early lineup changed several times. LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson were members during the group’s first major recording era, and Michelle Williams joined in 2000. This final trio recorded major hits including “Survivor,” “Independent Women,” and “Bootylicious.”

Destiny’s Child went on hiatus in 2002, allowing its members to pursue individual projects. Beyoncé’s first solo album, Dangerously in Love, followed in 2003. The group later reunited for selected performances, including Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and her 2018 Coachella performance.
