Kelly Rowland

About

Also known as: Kelendria Trene Rowland, Kelly Roland

Kelly Rowland first made her name as a core member of Destiny's Child, one of the biggest selling girl groups ever, before stepping out on her own and proving she had more than enough to sustain a solo career. Her debut album Simply Deep hit number one in the UK and shifted over five million copies worldwide, powered by the Billboard Hot 100 chart topper "Dilemma" with Nelly and the UK fan favourite "Stole". Her second album Ms. Kelly followed in 2007 with international hits "Like This" featuring Eve and "Work", then a collaboration with David Guetta on "When Love Takes Over" sent her in a fresh direction entirely. That Guetta connection pulled her toward electronic dance music for her third album Here I Am, which featured "Commander", "What a Feeling" and the electro R&B cut "Motivation" with Lil Wayne. Her fourth record Talk a Good Game landed in the Top 10 on the US Billboard 200. Away from music she has kept herself busy on screen, from horror outing Freddy vs. Jason to judging stints on The X Factor UK and USA, and a long run as a coach on The Voice Australia. She is also credited with helping to form Little Mix during her time on The X Factor UK.
