Mini bio
How it started.
Beyoncé grew up performing in Houston. Before Destiny’s Child, she was part of Girl’s Tyme, singing and dancing on the local talent-show circuit and competing on Star Search.
Finding her own voice.
Destiny’s Child brought her to a wider audience with songs including “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Say My Name.” In 2003, Dangerously in Love began her solo album career with “Crazy in Love” and “Baby Boy,” both US No. 1 singles.
Albums with a world of their own.
Lemonade, Renaissance and Cowboy Carter each build a different musical setting. Homecoming takes fans behind her 2018 Coachella performance, whose staging and music pay tribute to historically Black colleges and universities.
Where she is now.
Cowboy Carter brought her first album of the year Grammy in 2025. In 2026 she revisited B’Day with remastered music, restored videos and new collaborations, while discussing Cécred’s UK expansion with her mother in an i-D zine.
