She is a singer, songwriter, actress, fashionista, and -- according to People magazine ? 'World's Most Beautiful Woman.' Call her what you will, Beyonc? Giselle Knowles, known simply as Beyonc?, is a multitalented woman and true entertainment magnate.Born September 4, 1981, in Houston, the superstar-in-training was just 9 years old when the groundwork was laid for the early beginnings of the group Destiny's Child. The quartet signed with Columbia Records in 1997, scoring its first No. 1 a year later with 'No, No, No' ? the first single from the act's self-titled debut album. The success was just a microcosm of what Beyonc? would experience as an individual artist. When the group disbanded in 2005, she had solo projects already recorded (including 2003's 'Dangerously in Love.') Her second studio album 'B'Day' was released in September 2006 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Two years later came the emergence of her musical alter ego, formally introduced on the 2008 album, 'I Am?Sasha Fierce.' The album spun a string of hits: 'If I Were a Boy,' 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),' 'Halo,' 'Ego' and 'Sweet Dreams.' The project also earned six Grammys, smashing the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night. Beyonc?'s fourth solo project, '4,' bowed on June 24, 2011. It became her fourth consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, making her just the third artist in history to have her first four studio albums debut atop the chart.To her name, Beyonc? has more awards and accolades than one can count, among them 16 Grammys, 11 MTV Video Music Awards, and the Billboard Millennium Award. She has sold 75 million records worldwide, has been ranked first on Forbes list of the '100 Most Powerful and Influential Musicians in the World,' and has been involved in countless philanthropic projects, marketing initiatives and entrepreneurial activities. Alongside husband Jay-Z, her greatest accomplishment may be the birth of a daughter, named Blue Ivy Carter, at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York on January 7, 2012.Beyonc? has since begun work on two new albums, and took the stage at Revel Atlantic City's Ovation Hall (May 25-28, 2012) to celebrate the resort's grand opening. In August it was announced she will produce, direct and star in a documentary about her life and career.
