Born and raised in Houston, Texas, she performed in singing and dancing competitions as a child before forming in 1990 a group with Kelly Rowland and LaTavia Roberson that was eventually named Destiny’s Child. Once signed to Columbia Records, the girls subsequently became one of the world’s best-selling girl groups of all time. The group was plagued by internal conflict and legal turmoil and Knowles suffered from depression that lasted for a number of years.
