Beyonce | Hollywood Wonder Woman
Contemporary, R&B, Dance-Pop Funk and Soul
Amongst rumours of genetical engineering to create a Wonder
Woman, Beyonce Knowles was born
in 1981 in Huston Texas. Her natural obvious talent
as a young child and the support, direction and
encouragement of her parents (her father a record producer,
her mother a costume designer, stylist)
had much to do with her startling career which began
at the age of seven when she won her first talent
show to standing ovations singing John Lennon's
'Imagine'.
In 1993 the group 'Destinys Child' evolved and went on to
become the world's best selling female band
ever. In June 2003, Beyonce released her first solo
album 'Dangerously in Love' for which she received
five Grammy nominations. The album sold more than four
million copies, sealing her destiny as a solo artist.
In 2005, Destiny's Child split and Beyonce went on to
release her second Album 'B'day' to coincide with
her 25th birthday.
UK hit singles include 'Déjà Vu' and
'Beautiful Liar' and the worldwide hit single 'Irreplaceable'
which sold more than 541 000 copies in the first week and
has been certified three times platinum by
the Recording Industries Association of America.
Her third solo album entitled 'I Am Sasha Fierce' (one of
her names) is rumored to be inspired by her upcoming
film 'Cadillac Records' in which she plays blues
singer Etta James and is set to be released on Nov 18th
From Perfume to Fashion, Grammies to Hollywood, Beyonce is
now bigger than her home town Texas. The 28 year old
superstar already has a string of movies including Dream
girls (in which she played Dianna Ross and was nominated
for two Golden Globe awards. The film won the 2007
Academy Award), Austin Powers and The Pink Panther. We can
only 'wonder ' what's next - she just might turn fantasy
into reality by scoring the lead role in the upcoming Hollywood
adaptation of DC Comic's Wonder Woman.
