Beyoncé Knowles-Carter            

Grammy Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter, Actress, Businesswoman & Cultural Icon; Most Recently Known for "Cowboy Carter"

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is a globally recognized singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman who has profoundly influenced the music industry with her powerful vocals, captivating performances, and artistic innovation. Born in Houston, Texas, she initially gained fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of Destiny’s Child, one of the top-selling girl groups of all time. The group garnered extensive success with hits like "Say My Name" and "Survivor," accumulating multiple Grammy Awards before taking a hiatus in the mid-2000s.

Moving into a solo career, Beyoncé quickly established herself as a significant figure in the industry with the release of her debut album, "Dangerously in Love," which included popular singles like "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy." She continued to dominate the music scene with a series of critically acclaimed albums, including "B’Day," "I Am... Sasha Fierce," and "4." Her artistic reinvention led to innovative projects such as "Beyoncé," "Lemonade," and later "Renaissance" and "Cowboy Carter," the latter of which won Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the Grammys. She also earned a Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "II Most Wanted" featuring Miley Cyrus. These works have been praised for their bold storytelling and social commentary on race, feminism, and personal struggles.

Beyoncé's influence also extends to the film industry. She has starred in films including "Dreamgirls," "Obsessed," and "Black Is King," and voiced characters in "The Lion King" and "Mufasa: The Lion King." Beyoncé's business ventures include being the founder, chairwoman, and CEO of Parkwood Entertainment, co-founder, CEO, and owner of Ivy Park, and launching her hair care brand Cécred in February 2024. She also announced her whiskey brand, SirDavis, in collaboration with Moët Hennessy in August 2024.

As an activist, Beyoncé has utilized her platform to advocate for various social causes, including disaster relief, gender equality, and the Black Lives Matter movement. Through her BeyGOOD initiative, she has provided scholarships, funded housing projects, and supported small businesses. Her impact on pop culture, music, and social advocacy has earned her numerous accolades. As of 2025, she has won the most Grammy Awards of any artist, with a total of 35, and holds records for the most NAACP Image Awards (25), BET Awards (32), and Soul Train Music Awards (25) won by any artist. Billboard named her the Top Female Artist of the Decade for the 2000s and the Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century.
