Beyoncé | Artist

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is an American singer, songwriter, producer, and actress born 1981 in Houston, Texas. Beyoncé performed in various singing and dancing competitions as a child then rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of Destiny's Child, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. After two early solo albums, the artist found a more individual style with her third album I am... Sasha Fierce (2008) where she was assisted by her husband Jay-Z. The album earned a record-setting six Grammy Awards in 2010 and spawned the successful singles "If I Were a Boy", "Single Ladies" and "Halo". She later achieved universal acclaim for her sonically experimental visual albums, Beyoncé (2013) and Lemonade (2016), the latter of which was the world's best-selling album of 2016 and the most acclaimed album of her career, exploring themes of infidelity and womanism. Beyoncé is one of the world's best selling and highest earning recording artists, having sold over 160 million records worldwide. She is the first solo artist to have their first seven studio albums debut at number one on the Billboard 200 and, in 2020, was included on Time magazine's list of 100 women who defined the last century. Beyoncé's younger sister, Solange Knowles, is also a singer and a former backup dancer for Destiny's Child. Solange and Beyoncé are the first sisters to have both had No. 1 albums. Beyoncé has also starred in multiple films such as The Pink Panther (2006), Dreamgirls (2006), Cadillac Records (2008), Obsessed (2009), and The Lion King (2019). Standout albums include Beyoncé (2013), Lemonade (2016), Renaissance (2022), and Homecoming: The Live Album (2019).
