Beyoncé Giselle Knowles (born September 4, 1981) is an American R&B singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress. Knowles rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of girl group Destiny's Child , the best-selling girl group of all time. After a series of commercial successes with the group, Knowles released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, in June 2003 and her sophomore solo album, B'Day, in 2006. The success of her solo albums has established Knowles as one of the most marketable artists in the industry. She has added acting and endorsement deals to her repertoire. In 2006, she starred in the comedy film The Pink Panther, and, in the same year, scored the main role in the film adaptation of the 1981 Broadway musical Dreamgirls, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Knowles launched in 2004 her family's fashion line, House of Deréon, and among her many lucrative commercial deals are Pepsi, Tommy Hilfiger, and L'Oréal. Knowles has been with boyfriend Jay-Z since 2002, though they have been discreet about their relationship. After much speculation, they married on April 4, 2008.
I Am... is going to be her third solo studio album and is to be released on November 18, 2008. This is a double disc album, representing herself and on-stage persona, Sasha Fierce. The first disc, I Am... Beyoncé, will feature a predominate classic R&B-jazz sound while Fierce's disc, entitled I Am... Sasha, will have a hip-hop-dance vibe. [4] Knowles also plans to release a DVD of music videos for every track in February 2009, along with a Spanish version of "I Am..."
