Solange Piaget Knowles, born on June 24, 1986, in Houston, Texas, developed an early interest in music. She began writing songs at age nine and made her singing debut at Five Flags Astroworld. At 13, she decided to pursue recording, initially performing as a temporary backup dancer for Destiny’s Child, a group that included her older sister Beyoncé. In 2001, Knowles entered the music business as a lead singer for “The Proud Family” theme song and as a featured performer on “Hey Goldmember” in 2002. At 14, she began working on her debut album, “Solo Star,” released in 2003 through her father’s Music World Entertainment label with Columbia Records. The album, featuring producers such as Jermaine Dupri and Timbaland, included the lead single “Feelin’ You (Part II),” which reached number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart.
After her debut album, Knowles ventured into acting, appearing in films like “Johnson Family Vacation” (2004) and “Bring It On: All or Nothing” (2006). During this period, she also wrote songs for Destiny’s Child, including “Get Me Bodied” and “Upgrade U” for Beyoncé’s album “B’Day,” earning her an R&B and Hip-Hop Song accolade at the 2008 ASCAP Awards. Post-divorce, Knowles returned to music, signing with Geffen and EMI in 2007. Her second album, “Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams” (2008), marked a shift to Motown-inspired sounds and peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200. This was followed by the 1980s pop and R&B-influenced extended play “True” (2012).
In 2013, Knowles established her record label, Saint Records, to support emerging R&B and hip-hop artists. Her third studio album, “A Seat at the Table” (2016), received critical acclaim and became her first number-one album in the United States. Its lead single, “Cranes in the Sky,” earned a Grammy for Best R&B Performance. Her fourth album, “When I Get Home” (2019), also achieved critical success. Beyond music, Knowles has explored performance art, directing and composing pieces for international venues like the Venice Art Biennale and the New York City Ballet. She also holds numerous brand endorsements and entrepreneurial ventures, including Saint Heron, an institution amplifying Black artistry, and a three-year position as scholar in residence at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music starting in 2025.
