Kelly Rowland Biography

Before being a child of destiny Kelly Rowland was simply Kelendria Trene Rowland daughter of Doris Rowland Garrison and Christopher Lovett born on February 11 1981 in Atlanta Georgia. Rowland grew up inspired by Whitney Houston and—like her idol—sang in the church choir. At 7 Rowland's mother left her father due to domestic abuse and moved the family to Houston Texas. There Kelly met another budding songstress Beyoncé Knowles. According to reports Doris felt it was better for her daughter to live with the Knowles and Beyoncé's parents Matthew and Tina agreed to provide legal guardianship over Kelly.
In the early '90s Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé Knowles performed as part of the band Girl's Tyme. The group even competed on the nationally televised talent show Star Search. Although they lost they continued to perform at local schools day-care centers and other events around Houston slowly gaining recognition for their singing and dancing talent. By 1997 the group had signed a record deal with Columbia under the name Destiny's Child managed by Matthew Knowles.
Over the next few years Rowland would provide lead and background vocals on three successful albums: Their self-titled full-length debut in 1997 The Writing's on the Wall in 1999 and Survivor in 2001. By the time she was 18 Rowland was a millionaire— a milestone for which she has credited Matthew Knowles.
