Beyoncé Giselle Knowles was born September 4, 1981 in Houston Texas to Tina Beyince and Mathew Knowles. She attened St. Mary's Elementary School in Texas taking dance classes. Since being heard by her instuctor singing and hitting high pitched notes, she started doing school talent shows. She entered her first talent show when she was seven and won!

At eight she met LaTavia Roberson in an audition for a girl group. By the end of the audition both girls and Beyonces' friend Kelly Rowland all made it into the group known as Girl's Tyme. Arne Frager flew to Houston to see the group, and brought them back to his studio in Northern Californa. The group performed on Star Search, but lost because it was said that their song was "not good". Her father then resigned from his job in 1995 to become the group's manager creating for them what he called a "boot camp". Due to all of the pressure and loss of money her parents eventually divorced. In 1993, Beyonce's father changed the group number to four adding new member LeToya Luckett. The group continued to rehearse in Tina's salon and backyards, and performed as open acts for other girl groups. Tina designed and made the costumes for the girls which she continued to do throughout the eintire Destiny's Child era. With the help of Beyonce's father the group was signed to Elektra Records, but dropped only months before they could release and album. Beyonce is now a solo singer proving to the world that she has many talents, while change the worlds of both music and acting, she has never had a dull performance.
