Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter was born September 4, 1981, making her a Virgo known for perfectionism and artistic precision. The Houston-born singer rose to fame as lead singer of Destiny's Child before launching a solo career that earned her a record 35 Grammy Awards, more than any artist in history.

In 1990 she met LaTavia Roberson at an audition, forming the group that became Destiny's Child after Kelly Rowland and LeToya Luckett joined, with the quartet securing a Columbia Records deal in 1997.

Beyoncé married rapper Jay-Z (born December 4, 1976) on April 4, 2008, after years of private dating that began in the early 2000s. The couple welcomed daughter Blue Ivy Carter in January 2012, followed by twins Rumi and Sir Carter in June 2017. Despite brief separation and reconciliation documented in her Lemonade album, Jay-Z and Beyoncé remain married, collaborating on the 2018 joint album Everything Is Love as The Carters.
