Songwriters and actress Born in Houston's in September 1981, Beyoncé  began performing at age seven, winning upwards of 30 local competitions for her dancing's and vocal abilities. Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé's father and Rowland's legal guardian, signed on to be the girls' manager, eventually quitting his full-time job to focus on their efforts. she performed in various singing and dancing competitions as a child, and rose to fame in the late 1990s as lead singer of R&B girl-group Destiny's Child.

Four studio albums later, the group had officially become the best-selling female group of all time, with such smash hits as Jumpin  Jumpin, Bills, Bills, Bills, Say My Name, and "Survivor" bolstering the girls' momentum despite a continued string of lawsuits from former members Roberson and Luckett (who contested Mathew Knowles' management, claiming he withheld profits and unjustly favored his daughter and niece).
