Tenitra Michelle Williams was born on July 23, 1979 in Rockford,
Illinois. When she was a child, she never imagined being in one of the
most successful female groups in the country. When she was 17,
she had a friend who was playing the keyboard for famous R&B star:
Monica so, of course, she told him,
like any other fan would do, to tell the star hi. Weeks later, she
received a phone call from that friend telling her there were openings
for a background singer, so she went on a flight to Atlanta for
auditions and became Monica's background dancer. Then, about 3 years
later, she received a call telling her she would be in the R&B/popular
group, Destiny's Child. From then on,
she, with the group, won numerous awards, including 2 Grammys, MTV
VMA's, and "Soul Train Lady of Soul" Award and recorded her first
album, with the group, which is titled "Survivor".
