The city of Houston, TX, remains deeply rooted in the heart of Kelly Rowland.
Rowland, originally from Atlanta, GA, relocated to Houston, TX, when she was 8 years old to pursue her dreams of becoming a singer and resided with the Knowles family. She rose to fame as part of Destiny’s Child, originally named Girl’s Tyme, which was managed by Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé Knowles’ father.
When she was 11, Rowland joined Girl’s Tyme, which originally had six members. She remained part of the group through various lineup changes, ultimately becoming one of the lasting three members of Destiny’s Child in 1999, alongside Michelle Williams and longtime friend Beyoncé.
The group disbanded in 2006, but is still recognized as one of the best-selling music groups in history, with over 60 million records sold, noted Business Insider. Destiny’s Child made its mark in music history thanks to records like “Say My Name” (1999), “Bills, Bills, Bills” (1999), “Soldier” (2004), and “Lose My Breath ” (2005).
