We’ve known her as part of a girl group that once dominated the music scene. Who would ever forget the legendary Destiny’s Child that had the world singing with their catchy songs and real deal singing prowess?
We know we are looking at girl power in its truest sense whenever we see them perform. After the fall off though, like any other sight after disbandment, some continued to rise while others take the other side of the road.
Born Kelendria Trene Rowland on February 1981, this Atlanta, Georgia singer started humming and belting songs at the age of four. She was then a choir member until at seven years old, her mother, Doris Rowland Garrison decided to move to Houston, Texas with her, leaving Kelly’s father Christopher Lovett due to alcohol problem.
Their move to Texas seemed to be a road of success that’s about to unfold as there she met the Knowles family. Kelly first met Beyoncé at the age of eight. They created a girl group named Girl’s Tyme. They joined a talent show called ‘Start Search’ but apparently lost.
Changing the name to Destiny’s Child seemed to place things in proper place as they were able to bag a signed contract from Colombia Records back in 1997. The then six member group was downsized to four. The success of the band went on – enough for them to obtain several Grammy nominations and awards.
After the group has bowed their last goodbye, Kelly tried to make it on her own. In 2002, she collaborated with Nelly in the song ‘Dilemma.’ This brought a successful result. The said song was even hailed as one of the most successful records of that said year. October of the same year, Kelly’s first album named ‘Simply Deep’ was released.
Well enough, this was received by the listening fans with open arms and even sold around two million copies within and outside United States. Her second album in 2008 didn’t make as much though. Other appearances include being a judge on the eighth season of X Factor and starring in a romantic comedy project called ‘The Seat Filler.
