Mini bio

How it started.

Solange grew up in Houston and began working in music as a teenager. At 15, she stepped in as a backing dancer on a Destiny’s Child tour. Her debut album, Solo Star, reached US listeners in 2003; Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams followed in 2008.

Finding her sound.

The 2012 EP True and its single Losing You paired her writing with Dev Hynes’s production. In 2016, A Seat at the Table became her first No. 1 album, and Cranes in the Sky earned her a Grammy. When I Get Home followed in 2019, drawing on the sounds and culture of Houston.

Beyond the records.

Through Saint Heron, founded in 2013, Solange has made room for Black art, performance and cultural preservation. Her work includes composing for New York City Ballet, curating Eldorado Ballroom and building a lending library of rare and out-of-print books by Black and Brown authors. Her USC residency extends that practice into music education.
