Birth: 4 September 1981

Birthplace: Houston, Texas

Best Known As: Singer of "Crazy in Love"

Beyonc¨¦'s 2003 solo debut album, Dangerously in Love, won her five Grammy Awards, including best contemporary R&B album and best female R&B performance. Only 21 when the album was released, Beyonc¨¦ already was a pop music veteran: she had spent years with the all-female R&B group Destiny's Child, which won its own Grammys with hits like "No No No" and "Say My Name." Destiny's Child was formed and managed by Beyonc¨¦'s father, Mathew Knowles, and Beyonc¨¦ gradually became first among equals in the manner of Diana Ross and the Supremes. (She was named ASCAP's Songwriter of the Year in 2001, the first African-American woman ever to win that award). Destiny's Child went on hiatus in 2002 and Beyonc¨¦ went solo, appearing as sexy secret agent Foxxy Cleopatra in the Austin Powers sequel Goldmember and adding a hit single, "Work It Out," to the movie's soundtrack. In 2003 she had another hit with the single "Crazy in Love" (featuring rapper Jay-Z). Knowles also continued her screen career in 2003, co-starring with Cuba Gooding, Jr. in The Fighting Temptations.

In the manner of Prince and Sting, Knowles now prefers to be called by the single name of Beyonc¨¦.
