The life of Kelly Rowland
Who is Kelly Rowland?
Kelly Rowland sang in Destiny's Child, the best-selling girl group of its era, before a solo career that leaned further into dance and R&B. The group released The Writing's on the Wall in 1999 and Survivor in 2001, and announced their disbandment on stage in Barcelona in June 2005. Her solo album Simply Deep followed in 2002. She has also worked extensively as a television talent-show judge.
Defining moments
