A 21-year-old Houston native, Beyonce Knowles is a founding member and chief songwriter
of Destiny's Child, one of the biggest selling female acts of all time. With many of the group's hit songs co-written and
co-produced by Beyonce, Destiny's Child has sold more than 33 million records worldwide. When Beyonce won the 2001 ASCAP
Pop Songwriter Of The Year Award, she became the first African-American woman -- and the second woman ever -- to receive that
honor.
Led by founding members Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland, Destiny's Child burst on
the scene in 1997 with their multi-platinum single, "No, No, No," from their self-titled album. That success was dwarfed when
Destiny's Child's The Writing's On The Wall was released in 1999. The album would go on to sell more than 10 million
copies worldwide, driven in part by three Top 10 hits: "Jumpin, Jumpin," "Say My Name" and "Bills, Bills, Bills," which spent
9 weeks at #1 on the Billboard RandB singles chart.
A year after Michelle Williams joined Destiny's Child in 2000, the group recorded
Survivor, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Survivor was certified double platinum four weeks after its
release and has gone on to sell more than nine million copies worldwide. In 2001 Destiny's Child took home two Grammy awards:
Best RandB song ("Say My Name") and Best RandB performance by a Duo or Group ("Say My Name"). Destiny's Child has won
numerous other awards, among them Billboard Artist of the year, NAACP Image Awards, American Music Awards, Nickelodeon Kid's
Choice and The Sammy Davis Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year at the Soul Train Awards. The group has toured worldwide
and performed at many high profile events including The Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Concert Special and the Concert For
New York City.
