Which record label signed Destiny’s Child and Beyoncé during her early solo career?

Columbia Records signed Destiny’s Child and Beyoncé during her early solo career.

Destiny’s Child released its major-label debut through Columbia Records in 1998. The group went on to issue successful albums including The Writing’s on the Wall and Survivor, helping establish Beyoncé as its best-known member.

Columbia also released Beyoncé’s first solo album, Dangerously in Love, in 2003. The label is one of the oldest American record companies and operates as part of Sony Music Entertainment. Beyoncé later released music through other arrangements, including her own Parkwood Entertainment, but Columbia is central to the early recording history of both Destiny’s Child and her solo catalog.
