Beyoncé Knowles: A GO GETTER THAT NEVER GAVE UP

Beyoncé Knowles: A GO GETTER THAT NEVER GAVE UP

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter was in born September 4, 1981 and is an American singer, songwriter and businesswoman. Dubbed as "Queen Bey" and a prominent cultural figure of the 21st century, she has been recognized for her artistry and performances, with Rolling Stone naming her one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

As a child, Beyoncé started performing in various singing and dancing competitions. She rose to fame in the late 1990s as a member of the R&B girl group Destiny's Child, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. Their hiatus saw the release of Beyoncé's debut album, Dangerously in Love (2003). She then followed with the US number-one solo albums B'Day (2006), I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008), and 4 (2011). After creating her own management company Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé achieved critical acclaim for the experimental visual albums Beyoncé (2013) and Lemonade (2016), which explored themes such as feminism and womanism. With her Black queer-inspired dance album Renaissance (2022), she became the first female artist to have their first seven studio albums debut at number one in the US.

What made Beyoncé not to give up

“I need to be able to go places and have normal conversations with people. You don’t have to alienate yourself from the world.”

But in Life Is But a Dream, despite her shyness and love of privacy, she opens up about some of the major challenges she’s faced in the last two years. These include a miscarriage, the sacking of her father as her manager, and the birth of her first child, but the film’s no mawkish confessional. “That was important to me,” she says. “Doing things for the right reasons, telling the story for the right reasons. I was really, really careful about the editing and making sure it was told in an elegant way. I felt like, kind of, it’s time. But it was very important that it was not about me being a singer or an entertainer. At the end of the day, it’s a story about being a woman, overcoming the struggles and keeping on trucking – accepting the things you can’t control.”

Beyoncé’s default setting is flawlessly polite and accommodating. She was media-trained from an early age – Destiny’s Child signed its deal with Columbia Records, a division of her current label Sony, when Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett were just 14 – and she’s well-schooled in keeping happy the facilitators of her career both inside and out of the music industry.

Her never give up attitude made her successful and Journalists emphasize Beyoncé's "boundary-pushing" artistry, musical versatility, innovation and vocal performances. She is widely considered one of the greatest entertainers of her generation. Her contributions to music and visual media have made her a prominent popstar of the 2000s and 2010s decades.

If you ever doubt yourself as a woman, you will not be the best you can. always focus on who you are on the inside. because music is 90% percentage psychological and 10% talent. build your attitude and aptitude. be consistent with thought. don't procrastinate when you do it create doubt rather build self worth and never you give up.
