Biography of Beyoncé

Beyoncé's father, Matthew Knowles, is African American, and her mother, Tina, is Creole. And the singer got her unusual name from her mother's maiden name. Her whole family is connected with creativity. Mother is a costume designer and hairdresser in one person, father is a professional record worker, sister Solange is a songwriter and actress. At the school where Beyoncé studied, a dance class was opened, but it was there that Beyoncé's vocal talent was discovered.

Once, when the teacher started to hum a song, Beyoncé finished it on very high notes. After that, the teacher recommended the girl to take part in the school talent competition, and Beyoncé won. And in the fall of 1990, Knowles began to study at a high school with a musical bias. She also studied at a high school with an in-depth study of fine arts, was a soloist in the church choir for a year.

Discography and films of the singer

While auditioning for Beyoncé's girl group, Knowles met Lativia Robinson. They, along with Kelly Rowland, were selected in the girl's hip-hop group Girl's Tyme. Then the team expanded to six people, and the girls began to participate in competitions for young talents.

But the company cut the new staff in 1995, and Destiny's Child once again had to go back to start from scratch. This aggravated relations in the family. Beyoncé Knowles' parents divorced when she was 14 years old, but the family did not live apart for long.

Literally a year later, the family reunited, and the girls signed a contract with Columbia Records. Then they recorded their main label song Killing Time for the film "Men in Black". Even at the time when Beyoncé Knowles sang as part of a group, she was already performing solo. She recorded soundtracks for films and worked as an actress. After four studio albums, all members of Destiny's Child, Beyoncé Knowles, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland attempted solo careers. Beyoncé Knowles has overtaken her former colleagues: her first solo album has sold 4.7 million copies in the US.

In 2004, during their world tour in support of their fifth album, Destiny's Child officially announced the breakup of the group.

Two years later, Destiny's Child were voted the best-selling girl group of all time. On September 4, 2006, Beyoncé Knowles' second solo album B'Day was released, which was recorded in three weeks.

In November 2008, the third album I Am... Sasha Fierce was launched. The name is associated with the name of the double of the singer on stage.

In 2010, her success was marked by a large number of honorary awards. Beyoncé became the record holder for the number of Grammy awards received at a time - the singer was awarded as many as 6 statuettes for different nominations. This dizzying victory gave the singer strength, and in 2011 she released the album "4".

Later, due to the birth of her daughter, she still had to leave her work, but Beyoncé hurried back to the stage 4 months after giving birth and immediately announced that she was planning to release new albums.

Beyoncé is 165 cm tall and weighs 62 kg.

Beyonce's personal life

In 2006, singer Beyoncé Knowles admitted that she had severe depression when in 2000 irresolvable conflicts began in Destiny's Child. In addition, the guy she dated for 7 years left her, and all this resulted in the fact that Knowles could not find peace for several years. Then the singer was afraid to talk about her depression, fearing that they would not understand her. Destiny's Child had just won a Grammy and that was cause for rejoicing.

After Beyonce sang a duet with the future father of Beyonce's child Jay-Z, a lot of rumors spread around them, but they young people did not react in any way. And in 2005, rumors already spread about their wedding, but the singer Beyoncé Knowles cut off all the guesswork in the bud, saying that she and the rapper were not even engaged.

But on April 4, 2008, the long-awaited wedding took place, which became known only three weeks later. Beyoncé did not publicly wear her engagement ring, only revealing it at the Fashion Rocks concert on September 5, 2008 in New York City. In 2011, at the MTV Video Music Awards, Beyoncé announced that she was pregnant. On January 7, 2012, Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy was born. On June 12, 2017, the singer gave birth to twins from her husband - son Sir Carter and daughter Rumi Carter.
