Her father, Matthew Knowles works as Destiny's Child manager, while her mother Tina Knowles, designs the group members glittering costumes. She has one younger sister who she loves very much, named Solange Knowles. Beyonce once attended The High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas before she finally stepped her foot on music production.

To be with the group, Beyonce has become a worth asset perceived as its leader for she's the one writes and produces many of the group's songs, including smash hits "Jumpin Jumpin", "Bootylicious", "Nasty Girl", "Independent Women", "Happy Face" and "Apple Pie a la mode." To begin Destiny's first career, Beyonce and the other group's members, Rowland, and Michelle Williams, toured as an opening act for Christina Aguilera and TLC. Then in 1998 they released their group self-titled album, "Destiny's Child", which was produced by Wyclef Jean and Jermaine Dupri and featured the platinum-selling, number one Hot 100 single "No, No, No." What a great achievement that this album itself also then went platinum.

Shortly thereafter, Destiny's Child, in the year of 1999 released its second album "The Writing's on the Wall", featuring two number one hits in "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name" that won two awards at the 2001 Grammys for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best R&B Song, the latter of which was awarded to the songwriters, including Beyonce herself. Following both albums success, Destiny's Child soon released its third album, "Survivor", which became another smash, topped both the American Billboard 200 and R&B Albums charts, as well as reigning the Canadian album chart while became generally success around the world. What's more, two singles from the album, namely "Independent Women (Part 1)" and "Bootylicious", went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. To add, "Independent Women (Part 1)" had also become the theme song for "Charlie's Angels" in late 2000, prior to the album's 2001 release. More on the set, its title track "Survivor" gloriously won the band their second Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and its fourth and final single named "Emotions", has also become a cover for Bee Gees hit of the same name, carried on the group's impressive string of top ten hits.

After the many success, Destiny's Child current members, Rowland, Michelle and Beyonce herself decided to temporarily pursue solo careers that they in 2001 took a break from the group activity. After their hiatus, in 2004 the three of them mentioned their plan to cauzează two new albums, the first album entitled "Destiny Fulfilled" has been released along with its first single "Lose My Breath." Either the album or the single has been very success that both reached the top 10 Billboard album and singles charts respectively. Along with the group success, Beyonce's solo career also rose up. Appeared to be true that in 2002 she won the Songwriter of the Year award from the ASCAP Pop Music Awards, made her the first African American woman and the second woman of any race to win the honor. Gained fame and success in music production, Beyonce curious to expand her career to acting, which resulted in her starring in MTV's "Carmen" without any previous training.

Came after that was her summer 2002 co-starred in the film "Austin Powers in Goldmember" as Foxxy Cleopatra opposite Mike Myers. After that Beyonce recorded a song and produced a music video, called "Work It Out", used for the movie soundtrack that was a top 10 hit in the UK and a top 40 hit in Netherlands, Australia, and Ireland. Later, during the fall of 2002 Beyonce worked on the featured vocalist on Jay-Z's smash single, "03 Bonnie And Clyde." Both fell in love, started going on a date before then got engaged.

In the spring of 2003 Beyonce remade a duet with Luther Vandross, called "The Closer I Get To You", originally performed by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. The song was included both on her debut solo album and on Luther's "Dance With My Father" set, for which the two singers shared the Grammy for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals. Still in 2003, Beyonce released her debut solo album "Dangerously in Love", which first single named "Crazy In Love" featuring a guest rap from boyfriend Jay-Z, quickly became one of the biggest hits of that summer, staying at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart for ten weeks. Soon afterwards "Dangerously in Love" went to the top of the album charts in the UK and Canada, as well as on both the American pop Billboard 200 and R&B charts. As the single and album simultaneously topped the pop charts in both the US and UK, Beyonce then became the first actress to achieve this feat since "Men At Work" in 1983, in the '60s and '70s, which was performed by The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Rod Stewart.

To welcome the end of 2003 summer, the second single of the "Dangerously in Love" album, "Baby Boy" which featured reggae star Sean Paul had soon climbed the charts, went on to become one of the biggest hits of 2003 and dominated radio airplay for the fall of 2003. During the same time Beyonce also starred in the movie "The Fighting Temptations," for which she, together with rapper Missy Elliott, Free, and MC Lyte, recorded a song for it called "Fighting Temptation" that unfortunately failed to be popular despite the moderate success of the movie itself. Completed the works, Beyonce then towards the end of 2003 released the set's third single, "Me, Myself And I" after which its fourth single "Naughty Girl" then came out in mid-2004. Just like their predecessors, both singles also made the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.

After sometimes off from the scene and following their solo career's success, the trio then in September 2005 decided to part ways, retiring as Destiny's Child and moving forward to pursue personal goals and individual careers in music, theater, television and film as well. Though so, prior to their split the three personnel released a excepțional greatest hits package titled "#1's". Hit the market October 25th the same year, it consists of not only some old tracks, like "Independent Women Part I," "Survivor," "Soldier," and "Jumpin', Jumpin'", but also three brand new tracks, namely "Stand Up For Love," "Feel the Same Way I Do," and that of "Check on It," which also is becoming the soundtrack for "The Pink Panther" (2006) which Beyonce starred in alongside Steve Martin, Kevin Kline, Jean Reno, and Jason Statham among others. Subsequent to the album, Beyonce concentrated more on her solo career, even invading the world of fashion, launching her new fashion line, "House of Dereon", named after her grandmother, Agnes Dereon. "The whole theme is taking nothing and turning it into something because that's what my grandmother did with all kinds of fabrics. She just turned everything into masterpieces, and that's what my mother does," so she said on the line which features denim, handbags, casual sportswear, furs and footwear.

Time went on and on and back into the studio, Beyonce worked on her second solo album "B'Day" while also was filming her another movie "Dreamgirls", the Bill Condon-directed film adaptation of the Broadway show of the same name due to hit worldwide theaters December 22nd, 2006. Co-produced, wrote and arranged all the tracks on the set, Beyonce moreover also had boyfriend Jay-Z featured on the first single of the album, tentatively titled "Deja Vu", which was a top 5 hit in the U.S., a #1 hit on the U.S. R&B chart and peaked at #1 in the UK.

She had a second 'birthday' after releasing "B'Day [Deluxe Edition]" on April 3, 2007. The dublu CD took in materials both in English and Spanish that didn't make it to the first. This was the same record that sparked a feud between her and singer Des'ree. Included in the record was a track titled "Still in Love (Kissing You)" which was the remake of Des'ree's hit "I'm Kissing You". Beyonce was claimed trespassing the copyright law by not completing the terms and conditions that clearly stated that the song should not be re-titled or made a video. Des'ree as the co-writer of the song seek justice by filing a lawsuit and demanding a $150,000 compensation. While waiting for the court decision, the album was withdrawn from the market and shortly after re-released without the problematic track. :-)

Born on September 4, 1981, to a loving family in Houston, Texas, Beyonce (rhymes with fiance) Giselle Knowles showed an aptitude for music before she could even talk. As a young girl, she would drown out everyone, including the choir, on Sundays at church. Every weekend, she tuned her voice by doing soulful hymns with the congregation and then moved on to opera classes, in which she was classically trained.

Info:
Empezó a cantar a los cuatro años y la primera vez que se subió a un escenario ya supo a que quería dedicarse de mayor. Cuando tenía nueve años, ella y seis niñas más entre las que estaban Kelly y LaTavia formaron un grupo. En los primeros años se llamarón Girl Tyme. Entonces tres de ellas dejaron el grupo después de perder cierto protagonismo y llegó LeToya, momento en el que cambiaron varias veces de nombre Something Frehs, Cliche y The Dolls. Ellas firmaron por Elektra Records pero no les fue demasiado bien. Por eso escogieron Destiny's Child cuando suscribieron un contrato para grabar un disco con Columbia Records en 1995, cuando Beyoncé tenía trece años. Ella dijo que sus padres apoyarona a Destiny's Child desde el principio. "Mi padre se convirtió en nuestro manager cuando teníamos 11 y 12 años, y siempre nos buscaba actuaciones". dice Beyoncé. "Actuabamos una vez por semana y en verano dos veces a la semana". Su madre se encarga de su vestuario y de sus peinados. "Estoy muy contenta pues mis padres siempre me han dado todo su apoyo en mi carrera, cuando mi padre dejó su trabajo como vendedor de instrumental neuroquirúrgico en Xerox para dirigir el grupo, ellos tuvieron que vender sus coches y la casa para trasladarse a un mas pequeña, y mi madre mantuvo a la familia con su salón de peluquería, mi familia al completo hizo un gran sacrificio". dijo Beyoncé.
Entre los artistas que más admira se encuentran Mariah Carey, En Vogue, Rachelle Ferrell y SWV, aunque sobre todo admira a Lauren Hill porque ella es muy fuerte, siempre positiva durante todo su éxito, es su gran inspiración.
Beyoncé es conocida como la madre del grupo. Dedicada también a componer canciones y producir, muchos de sus trabajos los podemos oir en los albums de las Destiny's Child.
También ha tenido un papel de protagonista como actriz en una película para la televisión producida por la MTV y New Line Television llamada "Carmen: A Hip Hopera", una versión moderna de la ópera "Carmen" de Georges Bizet.

Preguntándole a Beyoncé porque quiere que la gente escuche su álbum como debut como solista, la artista vendedora pop/urban multi-platino responde, "Quiero que escuchen todas mis influencias musicales desde hip-hop a rock al jazz, incluso hay una muestra de Shuggie Otis. Quiero que realmente conozcan mi talento. Se que la gente me quiere como una estrella pop. Ahora quiero que me entiendan como artista.

Una chica de 21 años nacida en Houston Texas, Beyonce Knowles es una miembro fundador y compositora de frunte de Destiny's Child, uno de los más grandes actos femeninos de todos los tiempos. Con muchos éxitos del grupo con canciones co-escritas y co-producidas por Beyoncé, Destiny's Child ha vendido más de 33 millones de discos alrededor del mundo. Cuando Beyoncé gano el premio de Compositora Pop del Año en los ASCAP del 2001, se convirtió en la primera mujer afro-americana y la segunda mujer en toda la historia en recibir ese reconocimiento.

Con las miembros fundadoras Beyonce Knowles y Kelly Rowland, Destiny's Child se dio a conocer en 1997 con el multi-platino sencillo, "No, No, No," de su álbum "Destiny's Child." Ese éxito se vio minimizado con el lanzamiento de "The Writing's On The Wall" el cual fue lanzado en 1999. El álbum ha vendido más de 10 millones de copias alrededor del mundo, con tres éxitos del Top 10: "Jumpin, Jumpin," "Say My Name" y "Bills, Bills, Bills," el cual paso 9 semanas en el número 1 en la cartelera de Billboard de sencillos R&B.

Un año después, Michelle Williams se unio a Destiny's Child en el 2000, el grupo grabo "Survivor," el cual debuto en número 1 en la cartelera Billbaord 200. Survivor, fue certificado doble platino cuatro semanas después de su lanzamiento y vendiendo más de 9 millones de copias alrededor del mundo. En el 2001, Destiny's Child se llevo a casa dos premios Grammy "Mejor Canción R&B" por "Say My Name" y "Mejor actuación R&B por un dúo o grupo." Destiny's Child ha ganado numerosos premios, incluyendo Artista Billlboard del Año, Premio Imagen NAACP, American Music Awards, Nickelodeon Kid's Choice y The Sammy Davis Jr. Award por "Entretenedor del año" en los Soul Train Awards. El grupo ha estado de tour alrededor del mundo y presentando en muchos grandes eventos como el concierto especial por el 30 aniversario de Michael Jackson y el Concierto por New York City.

Dando el hecho de que el publico en general esta familiarizado con éxitos como "Say My Name," "Independent Woman, Part I" y "Survivor," es una aventura el ver como "Dangerously In Love" difiere de Destiny's Child. "Naturalmente las canciones de mi álbum comparten ciertas similitudes, Pero esta vez, porque yo sola tuve que escribir, mis canciones son mucho más personales. También quería sonidos que fueran más fuertes y ser capaz de colaborar con otras personas. Básicamente este disco fue una oportunidad para mi de crecer como compositora y cantante. Hay más baladas. La voz no esta precisamente producida y es porque solo soy yo, no hay más armonías. La experiencia es muy liberadora y terapéutica. Me siento libre, porque puedo ir al estudio y hablar de lo que yo quiera, pero en muchas maneras fue más difícil el ser mi propia creatividad. Dependo mucho de Destiny's Child (Kelly Rowland y Michelle Williamds) para que me digan si les gusta algo o no. Soy tan auto critica que es un tanto asustadizo el depender tanto de tus propios instintos."

Ayudando a Beyoncé en confiar en esos instintos estuvieron muchas colaboraciones, estre ellos Missy Elliot, Jay-Z, Sean Paul, Mark Batson, Mario Winans, D-Roy y Mr. B, Big Boi de Outkast, Rich Harrison, Fanatic, Scott Storch y el legendario Luther Vandross en "The Closer I Get To You." Beyoncé comparte los créditos de co-ejecutivo de Dangerously In Love con su padre y manager Mathew Knowles. Ella tomo muchos papeles activos en el álbum, desde escribir y escoger el material hasta producirlo, dominando y mezclando las pistas. Beyoncé rinde tributo a su padre en una canción bonus escondida, "Daddy," la cual fue producida por Beyoncé y Mark Batson.

El sexy primer sencillo "Crazy In Love," con Jya-Z, fue co-producido por Beyoncé y Rich Harrison. Jay-Z regresa el favor a Beyoncé por ser parte de su éxito "Bonnie & Cyde 03." Con un ritmo que Beyoncé describe como: "¡tan fuerte que hace confiar a tu corazón!," "Crazy In Love" trata del momento en que te das cuenta de que te estas enamorando y volviéndote loco pero simplemente no te importa. Esto continua con "Speechless," producido por Fanatic. "Tan pronto como escuche esta pista me inspiro," admite Beyonce. "Es muy sexy, muy sensual. El tipo de balada que nunca había hecho antes. Esta canción definitivamente ¡hace crecer a la población!."

Creada con un ambiente arábigo, fusionado con un borde ghetto-fied y acompañado de una muestra de "Love To Love You Baby" de Donna Summer," "Naughty Girl" es un uptempo perfecto para una fiesta: una sexy fantasía acerca de tener una noche en la cual pierdas todas tus inhibiciones, con la cabeza hacia el club y trabajar con una chica atrevida. "Muchas de las canciones del álbum examinan aspectos de las relaciones, y ese es uno de los elementos."

También la canción condimentada con un salón de danza árabe esta "Baby Boy," con Sean Paul. "Sabía que Sean tenía que estar en mi álbum porque me gusta su acercamiento," dice ella. "Baby Boy es otra canción sobre una fantasía y es una de mis favoritas."

Estas imperturbables y sinceras emociones podrían venir como una sorpresa de mucho tiempo para los fans, pero fue hecha sin ningún error, Dangerously In Love no es un rechazo al sonido de Destiny's Child. "Yo amo a Destiny's Child y soy un miembro de ese grupo, no hemos terminado, vamos a continuar de tour y grabando y siendo un grupo. Hemos grabado una canción "I Know," para la banda sonora de "The Fightin Temptations." hemos decidido tomarnos nuestro tiempo para experimentar como solistas y yo soy el tercer miembro en lanzar mi propio disco. Trabajando deosebit se sigue manteniendo el fuego encendido y mantienen a los fans cerca para ti. No estoy tratando de alejarme de DV o el legado que tenemos. Solo quiero mostrar un acercamiento diferente y el crecimiento que he experimentado."

El crecimiento es evidente en la creciente carrrera de Beyoncé. En el 2001 ella protagonizo para MTV "Carmen." Trabajo que solo se transmitio por ese canal, y que le empezo a dar reconocimiento a Beyonce como actriz. En el 2002 ella aparecio como Foxxy Cleopatra en la tercera parte de la secual de Austin Power, "Austin Powers In Goldmember." Al lado del cómico Mike Mayers. En el 2002 filmo al lado de Cuba Gooding Jr. la película "The Fighting Temptations." La cual se estrenará en Estados Unidos de América este año. Ella tiene dos participaciones más actualmente en producción y también puede ser vista en la pantalla chica en una seria de comerciales para Pepsi-Cola dirigidos por Spike Lee. Beyoncé firmo un contrato con esta compañía el año pasado dejando fuera de la jugada a la Popstar Britney Spears, esta compañía solo firma contratos con las grandes estrellas de la música, es por eso que escogieron a Beyoncé. Ella también es la cara publicitaria de L'Oreal, junto con otras actrices como Natalie Imbruglia.

Biografie

Beyonce Giselle Knowles (nascuta pe 4 septembrie 1981) a devenit cunoscuta ca membra a trupei R&B Destiny’s Child – grupul feminin cu cele mai mari incasari din istoria muzicii, cu un total de 50 de milioane de discurii vandute in intreaga lume.

Beyonce s-a nascut in Houston, Texas, fiind cea mai mare intre cele trei fete ale parintilor afro-americani Tina Beyince si Mathew Knowles.

La varsta de 7 ani, a inceput scoala de dans, fiind in acelasi timp si solista in corul bisericii, castigand peste 30 de competitii locale de dans si muzica.

Beyonce, impreuna cu prietena sa cea mai buna LaTavia Roberson, a intalnit pe Kelly Rowland si LeToya Luckett. Au compus un cvartet numit Girls Tyme, care insa nu a ajuns nespus de cunoscut.

Tatal lui Beyonce a hotarat sa le ajute pe tinere sa isi indeplineasca visul de cantarete. Acesta va renunta la serviciul sau in cadrul companiei Xerox pentru a-si dedica tot timpul grupului.

Intre timp, Beyonce a urmat cursurile Liceului de Arta din Houston, transferandu-se mai apoi la Liceul Alief Elsik din acelasi oras.

Destiny’s Child au transformat faimoase in 1998 odata cu intrarea in To 10 Billboard a piesei `No, No, No Part 2`.

Chiar si dupa scandalurile din presa generate de plecarea Letoyei Luckett si LaTaviei Robertson, Destiny’s Child (in cele din urma un trio) au reusit sa se mentina, devenind una dintre cele mai cunoscute trupe feminine din istorie, cu 4 hituri pe debutantul loc in Billboard Hot 100, mai numeroase componente in Top 10 si doua albume `number one`.

Albumul de debut cu acelasi nume din 1998, produs de Wycleaf Jean, a fost premiat cu platina. Acelasi succes l-a cunoscut si urmatorul material - `The Writing`s on the Wall` (1999) – cu peste 13 milioane de copii vandute in intreaga lume. Piesa `Say My Name` a castigat 2 premii Grammy in 2001.

`Survivor` va fi si el un mare succes, atingand întâia pozitie in topul Billboard, piesa `Independent Woman Part 1` fiind aleasa drept tema pentru coloana sonora a filmului `Ingerii lui Charlie`. `Survivor` a castigat 3 premii Grammy.

In 2001, Beyonce a fost numita `Compozitorul anului` de catre Societatea Americana a Compozitorilor, Autorilor si Editorilor, fiind prima soție de colorit care a realizat aceasta si a doua in general din toate timpurile.

In 2004, grupul se reuneste pentru cel de al patrulea album de studio `Destiny Fulfilled`.

In toamna lui 2002, Beyonce va aparea alaturi de Jay-Z in single-ul acestuia `Bonnie and Clayde`, cei doi devenind in scurt timp iubiti si in viata reala.

In 2003, lanseaza albumul de debut `Dangerously in Love`, care se va vinde in 317 000 de exemplare inca din prima saptamana, dupa trei saptamani fiind premiat cu platina.

Primul single adăugat - `Crazy in Love` feat. Jay-Z, va ocupa pentru 8 saptamani consecutive prima pozitie in Billboard.

LP-ul s-a vandut in peste 4 milioane de copii in Statele Unite si in peste 11 milioane in restul lumii. A fost prima artista care a avut si un single si un album in acelasi timp pe prima pozitie in istoria Billboard, doar Men At Work, Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel si Rod Stewart reusind aceasta performanta.

La editia din 2004 a Grammy-urilor a castigat un record de 5 premii, printre care `Cea mai buna performantaa unei artiste R&B` sau `Cel mai bun album R&B contemporan`. Acest fapt a fost creat doar de Lauryn Hill (1999), Alicia Keys (2002) si Norah Jones (2003).

Discul `B `Day` a fost lansat pe 4 septembrie 2006, coincizand cu implinirea varstei de 25 de ani de catre artista. Piese de pe acesta cum ar fi `Déjà vu`, `Ring the Alarm` si `Irreplaceable` au atins primele pozitii in topurile internationale.

Pe 6 decembrie 2006, Beyonce a fost nominalizata la 5 premii Grammy.

A debutat si in industria cinematografica, aparand in filme ca de pildă `Austin Powers`, `The Fighting Temptations`, `Pantera Roz`, dar mai ales `Dreamgirls`, productie nominalizata la Globul de Aur si la Oscar.
