Solange Knowles

Solange Piaget Knowles is an American singer, music producer, model, and actress. Her father Matthew Knowles owned a music label, which played an important role in Solange’s obsession with music from a very early age. She started her musical career at the age of 16 with her debut album ‘Solo Star’ in 2002. Her debut album became a moderate success. Before her musical debut, she had plunged into the field of acting with minor roles in TV series like ‘Intimate Portrait’ and ‘The Proud Family.’ She managed both her musical endeavors and acting projects, which allowed her to become a well-known celebrity in America. This also helped her to glide out of her father’s shadow and she soon established a name for herself. Her distinct sense of music separated her from the rest of emerging hip hop artists. She further proved her talent with her second album ‘Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams,’ which was also a success. Her subsequent works, including the extended play ‘True’ and her third album ‘A Seat at the Table,’ went on to become critical and commercial successes. She considers her older sister Beyonce as her biggest influence.
