Although Beyonce Knowles is not yet 30, the sensual superstar
has already succeeded on many levels: as a dancer, singer,
composer, model, music producer, video director and actress. Like
rap star/entrepreneur Jay-Z, with whom Beyonce recently married,
she has evolved into a businesswoman, who with her designer-mother,
Tina Knowles, markets Beyonce's personal fashion line, House of
Dereon. The multi-talented, global entertainer lends her name and
image to many commercial and philanthropic ventures. She is the
spokeswoman for L'Oreal and appears in ads for Pepsi and Ford.
This biography tells the story of a young, talented woman's
meteoric rise in the entertainment industry. From a shy, demure
Catholic schoolgirl growing up in Houston, Texas, Beyonce Knowles
eventually morphed into the first African-American woman to win the
Songwriter of the Year Award from the American Society of
Composers, Authors and Publishers Pop Music Awards. The once-shy
suburban schoolgirl has gone far beyond her original dream of
becoming a first-rate musician and vocalist. With the assistance of
her manager-father--former Xerox executive Mathew Knowles--and as
lead singer of the R&B girl group Destiny's Child (the world's
all-time bestselling female group), Beyonce has won 10 Grammy
Awards and two Golden Globe nominations. Her albums have reached
more than 20 million people worldwide, and she has become a
cultural icon to music lovers everywhere as well as a role model
for young women. Author Janice Arenofsky gives students and general
readers alike an insightful look at a music and fashion icon who
has a unique niche in popular culture today. Complete with photos,
a timeline, and a thorough bibliography.
