Biografía de Beyoncé

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles was born in Texas in 1981. She’s been involved in show business since she was seven years old, when she won a talent contest. At the age of eight, she auditioned for a band called Destiny’s Child.

Her big break came in 1997, when Destiny’s Child signed a contract with a big record company. In the years that followed, they released many best-selling albums. They were the most popular female group of all time. They broke up in 2005.

Since then, Beyoncé has had a very successful solo career. She has recorded several CDs and she has appeared in films such as Dreamgirls. In 2001, she also started a clothes company called ‘House of Dereon’.
