Her parents are Mathew and Tina Knowles, and her older sister is popular musician and performing artist Beyonce Knowles. As a child, Knowles studied dance and theater. She first made her singing debut at an amusement park when she was five years old, and began writing her own songs when she was nine. When she was fifteen, she joined her sister’s group Destiny’s Child on tour as a supporting dancer. Furthermore, she briefly replaced Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland when the group performed as the opening act for pop singer Christina Aguilera on tour, after Rowland injured herself and broke her toes.

She then featured on a number of songs, including Lil Romeo’s “True Love” (2002), Destiny’s Child’s “Little Drummer Boy” (2001) and Kelly Rowland’s “Simply Deep” (2002). Additionally, Knowles also wrote the tracks “Beyond Imagination” and “Obsession” for Rowland’s 2002 solo album “Simply Deep”. She began working on her debut album “Solo Star” when she was just 14 years old. The album involved notable American producers like Jermaine Dupri, The Neptunes, and Timbaland, and she also contributed as co-writer and co-producer on several tracks. “Solo Star” was recorded under her father’s label, Music World Entertainment, with Columbia Records, and released in January 2003.

After parting ways with her record label Interscope-Geffen-A&M, Knowles released the single “Losing You” (2012) through the independent label Terrible Records.
