Kelly Rowland or 'Kelendria Trene Rowland' was born February 11, 1981 and is an American R&B singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. She is famous for being one of the founding members of the successful R&B girl group Destiny's Child, which is the best-selling female group of all time. She released a solo single in collaboration with rapper Nelly and "Dilemma." Other successful singles include "Like This," as well as the Snoop Dogg-collaboration "Ghetto." Kelly Rowland also gained fame for starring in several film and television productions, including a starring role in the 2004 romantic comedy The Seat Filler, a supporting role in the 2003 slasher horror film Freddy vs. Jason, and several guest appearances on TV series such as The Hughleys and Girlfriends. At the age of seven, Rowland relocated to Houston, Texas, where she was placed into a rapping and dancing group, along with her friends Beyoncé Knowles and LaTavia Roberson. Taken from a passage in the Biblical Book of Isaiah, the group changed their name to Destiny's Child in 1993. Together, they performed in local events and, after four years on the road, the group was signed to Columbia Records in late 1997. That same year, Destiny's Child recorded their major label debut song, "Killing Time", for the soundtrack to the 1997 film, Men in Black.
