Kelly Rowland is an American R&B singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. She was born on February 11, 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Kelly rose to fame as one of the founding members of the successful R&B girl group Destiny's Child, the best-selling female band of all time, according to the World Music Awards and SonyBMG.
After a series of commercially successful releases with the group and a worldwide number-one success with rapper Nelly and their Grammy-winning single "Dilemma", Rowland released her debut solo album “Simply Deep” in 2002. The album became a commercial success, eventually selling more than 2.5 million copies worldwide, and garnered three more or less successful singles. Rowland's often-delayed second album, “Ms. Kelly” was released on June 25, 2007 in Europe and on July 3, 2007 in the United States. So far, the album has spawned the top 5 single "Like This", a collaboration with rapper Eve, as well as the Snoop Dogg-collaboration "Ghetto" and the international single "Work".
While maintaining a recording career Rowland has 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 film “Freddy vs. Jason”, and several guest appearances on TV series such as “The Hughleys” and “Girlfriends”.
