Solange

Solange Piaget Knowles, also known mononymously as Solange, is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and actress. She expressed an interest in music from an early age and had temporary stints as a backup dancer for Destiny's Child, which featured her older sister Beyoncé among its members, before signing with their father Mathew Knowles's label, Music World Entertainment. At 16, Knowles released her first studio album Solo Star. She also appeared in the films Johnson Family Vacation, and Bring It On: All or Nothing. In 2007, Knowles began to record music again. Heavily influenced by Motown girl groups, her second studio album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams deviated from the pop-oriented music of her debut to Motown-inspired sounds from the 1960s and 1970s. It peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200 and received positive reviews from critics. She followed this up with the 1980s pop and R&B-inspired extended play True on Terrible Records and her imprint Saint Records. Her third studio album, A Seat at the Table was released to widespread critical acclaim and became her first number-one album in the US.
