Description
Early life and career beginnings
Knowles was born in Houston, Texas, the daughter of Mathew
Knowles, a successful record manager, and Tina Beyincé, a costume designer and
hair stylist. Knowles' father is African American and her mother is of Creole
(African-American, Native American, and French) descent.[4] Knowles was
baptized after her mother's maiden name, as a tribute to her mother and to
prevent the name from becoming obsolete, since only a few of the Beyincé males
carry the name.[5][6] Her maternal grandparents, Lumis Albert Beyincé and Agnéz
Deréon, were French-speaking Louisiana Creoles.[5] She is the elder sister of
Solange, a singer-songwriter and actress.
Knowles was schooled at St. Mary's Elementary School in
Texas, where she enrolled in dance classes, including ballet and jazz. Her
talent in singing was discovered when her dance instructor began humming a song
and she finished it, hitting the high-pitched notes.[6] Although a shy girl, as
her mother considered her, Knowles' interest in music and performing began
unexpectedly after participating in a school talent show. Once she had a moment
on the stage, she overcame her shyness and wanted to become a singer and
performer.[7] By age seven, Knowles had entered her first talent show, singing
John Lennon's "Imagine". She won the contest and was honored with a
standing ovation.[8][9] At the same age, Knowles started gaining attention from
the press, having mentioned in Houston Chronicle as a nominee for the local
performing arts award The Sammy.[10]
In the fall of 1990, Knowles enrolled in Parker
Elementary School, a music magnet school in Houston, where she would perform
onstage with the school's choir.[6] She also attended the High School for the
Performing and Visual Arts in Houston[11] and later went to Alief Elsik High
School, located in the Houston neighborhood of Alief.[5][12] Knowles was a
soloist in the choir of her church, in St. John's United Methodist Church.[6]
She only lasted in the choir for two years, however, because she was
preoccupied with her newfound career.[ Beyonce - Diva
