BEYONCE

•Her name is Beyoncé Griselle Knowles-Carter. She was born on September, the 4th in 1981 in Houston. Beyoncé is a famous singer of R&B. She has a lot of nicknames: Sasha Fierce; Queen B; Honey Bee; King B; Queen of R&B; BK; Yoncé and the last one is Third Ward Trill. My favorite is Queen B because to my eyes she is beautiful as a queen and her talent is so big... This nickname was given to her to consider her status of famous music artist.

•Her career began with the creation of a group: Destiny's Child (in 1990). This group consists of three African-American: Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. The group had a very big success and released five albums. After their last album, Beyoncé started her soloist career. But before her success in this career, she appeared with the lead role in a TV film of MTV: Carmen: A Hip Hopera. It was a very great success. Yoncé recorded her first soloist single, Work it out, in 2002, for the soundtrack of another film in which she participated. Then, she devoted herself to her soloist career in music and she produced 5 albums, until the last one which came out in 2013 (it was called “Beyoncé”).

•In 2002, she started a relationship with Jay-Z an American rapper with whom she worked several times. They got married on April, the 4th, in 2008, in New York. And after ten years living together, she gave birth to their first child: Blue Ivy. She was born on January, the 7th in 2012, in New York.

Beyonce is my favorite singer because I love her voice and all the songs that she realised. Her songs are touching and in general very energising. When she is on the stage she dance very well, she is very dynamic and she is close to her fans.

Here is Beyoncé.
