Biography
Beyonce first began her musical career when she was 7 years old and met
LaTavia Roberson while auditioning for a children's group. Beyoncé's cousin,
Kelly Rowland, soon joined the girls, and the trio was finally joined by the
fourth part of the group, LeToya Luckett.
Managed by Music World Management's Matthew Knowles -- who is also
Beyoncé's father and Kelly's legal guardian -- the four young girls with big
dreams became Destiny's Child.
Worshipping the moves and voices of R&B legendary groups such as the
Supremes and the Jackson 5, the children of Destiny's Child started small by
performing at local events and moved on to their national television debut
with their performance on Star Search.
Not only did their strong voices standout, but their originality and
refreshing rap performance was only a preview of what the music industry was
in store for.
Soon enough, the group had moved up from the ranks of performing at
small-time gigs, to becoming the opening act for popular R&B and hip hop
acts Dru Hill, SWV and Immature.
The group's first album, the self-titled Destiny's Child, was released in
1998, under the Columbia Records label. The album features Wyclef Jean, Pras
and Jermaine Dupri as collaborating producers, as well as their hit single
"No, No, No", which went platinum.
If the three awards that Destiny's Child received at the 1998 Soul Train
Lady of Soul Awards wasn't enough of an indication of their upcoming
success, their next album sure was. The Writing's on the Wall, which was
released in 1999, reached the top ten Billboard album charts upon its
release.
The album has so far spawned 4 hit singles, "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Say
My Name," "Bug a Boo," and "Jumpin', Jumpin'." With their album reaching
triple platinum status by the end of the year, 2 Grammy nominations in 1999,
an "Image Award" for Outstanding Duo or Group by the NAACP, and
contributions to the soundtracks for the films Why Do Fools Fall In Love?,
Life, and Romeo Must Die, one would think that the Houston-based group would
know no problems -- but that would be wrong.
In March of 2000, it was announced that group members LeToya Luckett and
LaTavia Roberson had left the group. It was later revealed that the two
members were unhappy with the management of Matthew Knowles, and that they
left because of existing "creative differences." LeToya and LaTavia took the
group and its management to court, while the remaining members found two
replacements, Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin.
Just when it seemed that Destiny's Child had seen the last of their
problems, Farrah Franklin left the group after 5 months, leaving Beyoncé
Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams (not to be confused with the
blonde Dawson's Creek star) as a trio, basking in the glory of consecutive
number one hits with the release of the group's third album, Survivor.
