About Beyoncé
Beyoncé, born in Houston, first reached a broad audience as a member of Destiny's Child. Her 2003 solo debut, Dangerously in Love, included Crazy in Love with Jay-Z and Baby Boy, establishing a separate solo catalog alongside the group's work. Her recordings span R&B and pop, with later projects including the dance-oriented Renaissance and country-associated Cowboy Carter. Named collaborations remain collaborations; Destiny's Child and The Carters are distinct group credits rather than alternate names for her solo career.
