As a solo artist, Beyonce has sold in the region of 100 million records, and 60 million more as part of the band. She is officially one of the best selling artists in history. Born in Houston Texas, Beyonce took part in dance classes at school. Her talent for singing was uncovered when she finished a song her dance teacher was humming, and was able to effortlessly reach all the highest notes. She won a school talent show at the age of seven.

Later on, she joined a music school. After this, she enrolled at the High School for Performing and Visual Arts. During this time, she was also a member of the choir. Another interesting fact about Beyonce is that she and Kelly Rowland, her fellow band member, are childhood school friends!

I can never be safe. I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.

When I’m not feeling my best, I ask myself ‘what are you going to do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.
