About
Solange Knowles turned Motown nostalgia and introspective R&B into Grammy-winning albums and museum-scale performance art. Born June 24, 1986, in the US, she started as a backup dancer for Destiny's Child before launching a solo career that diverged sharply from her sister Beyoncé's pop dominance. Her 2016 album A Seat at the Table became her first US number-one, with the single "Cranes in the Sky" winning Best R&B Performance. As a Cancer, she channels emotional depth into songwriting—her stated first passion.

Biography
Solange Piaget Knowles built a career around reinvention, moving away from pop into Motown-inspired and R&B territory that earned her critical respect beyond her famous sister's shadow. She released her debut album Solo Star at 16, then took a five-year recording break before returning with Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams in 2008, which peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200. The True EP (2012) and her third album A Seat at the Table (2016) cemented her as a solo force—the latter went number one in the US and spawned "Cranes in the Sky," which won the Grammy for Best R&B Performance. When I Get Home (2019) maintained her critical momentum, cracking the top ten. Beyond music, she has acted in Johnson Family Vacation (2004) and Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006), and in 2022 became the first African American and third woman overall to compose a score for the New York City Ballet. She has also worked in performance art across international museums including the Elbphilharmonie and the Venice Art Biennale. Billboard ranked her the 100th most successful dance artist of all time. Born June 24, 1986, in the US, she operates as a singer, songwriter, and actress. Her life-path number is 9, often associated with universal humanitarianism and artistic transcendence. As a Cancer, she channels water-sign introspection into work that prioritizes emotional authenticity over commercial trends.
