BEYONCE'

Beyonce Knowles, born in Houston, Texas on September 4, 1981, has enjoyed a fast and brilliant career in the world of pop music.

She took her first steps into the world of music at just sixteen when she formed her (with Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett), the girlsband of Destiny's Child. The group begins to open concerts for high-caliber hip-hop and R&B artists, such as Dru Hill, SWV and Immature. Their first album, the self-titled "Destiny's Child" (1998) churns out the hit "No, No, No"; the second LP "The writing's on the wall" definitively affirms them on the international scene. It's 1999: the album gets seven platinum discs, 2 Grammy nominations and an Image Award.
With the success comes the problems: in March 2000 LeToya and LaTavia leave the band, Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin are added (the latter will leave after only five months): but not all evils come to harm, if it is true that Destiny's, in this new line-up, reached international recognition thanks to their third studio work, "Survivor" and "Independent Women Part 1", the theme-tune of the film Charlie's Angels.



Beyonce, however, wants to try the solo path, even if the Destiny's project continues: she produces her first solo single "Work it out", followed in June 2003 by the album "Dangerously in love": between soul and R&B the results they are absolutely flattering. The record "B'Day" brings her the award for Best Contemporary R&B Album and makes her enter the history of the American Music Awards as the first woman to win the International Artist award. In 2007, the US magazine AskMen ranks Beyoncé in first place in the ranking of the most desired women on the planet.

On April 4, 2008, Beyoncé gets married in New York with rapper Jay-Z. In January 2012 Beyoncé became her mother giving birth to Blue Ivy Carter. Five years later she and Jay-Z become parents again when a pair of twins is born in June 2017.



At the 2021 "Oscars of music" (Grammy Awards) the American singer won four awards, totaling an absolute record for a female artist: 28 Grammys received by her in her career.
