From the earliest moments of her childhood in Houston, Texas, it was clear that Beyonce, of mixed African-American and Louisiana Creole descent, had a special gift when it came to performing in front of a crowd. At the age of seven, she dominated much older kids in a local talent show, and appeared on national television before she was even a teenager. She went on to become a part of the super group Destiny's Child and was one of the key reasons they eventually became one of the most popular female musical groups of all time. The road to success wasn't always easy, however, as Beyonce managed to overcome many obstacles on the road to superstardom, and go on to find both success and happiness in her professional and private lives. Beyonce is a multiple Grammy-award winning superstar, an incredibly talented and successful singer-songwriter, an accomplished actress, and a successful businesswoman. In short, Beyonce is an extraordinary achiever.
