A 21-year-old Houston native, Beyonce Knowles is a founding
member and chief songwriter of Destiny's Child, one of the
biggest selling female acts of all time. With many of the
group's hit songs co-written and co-produced by Beyonce, Destiny's
Child has sold more than 33 million records worldwide. When
Beyonce won the 2001 ASCAP Pop Songwriter Of The Year Award,
she became the first African-American woman -- and the second
woman ever -- to receive that honor.
Led by founding members Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland,
Destiny's Child burst on the scene in 1997 with their multi-platinum
single, "No, No, No," from their self-titled album.
That success was dwarfed when Destiny's Child's The Writing's
On The Wall was released in 1999. The album would go on to
sell more than 10 million copies worldwide, driven in part
by three Top 10 hits: "Jumpin, Jumpin," "Say
My Name" and "Bills, Bills, Bills," which spent
9 weeks at #1 on the Billboard RandB singles chart.
