Solange Piaget Knowles (born June 24, 1986), who performs under the mononym
Solange, is an American recording artist, actress, model, DJ and dancer. Knowles was born and raised in Houston, Texas along with her older sister singer Beyonce Knowles of pop group Destiny's Child. Showing an interest in music recording at an early age, she eventually broke into the music scene at 16. She has released two studios albums:
Solo Star in 2003 and

Aside from recording, Knowles has ventured into film, modeling, and entrepreneurship. She co-launched the junior apparel collection Dereon, a sister line to House of Dereon that was established by her mother and sister. Knowles has been compared to her sister by the media, but she dismisses the notion, saying they are artistically different.
