The Houston-based quartet began with the meeting of 7 and 8-year-old girls Beyoncé Knowles and LaTavia Roberson. The founding members of the group first met while auditioning for a children's group. Beyoncé's cousin, Kelly Rowland, soon joined the girls, and the trio was finally joined by the fourth part of the group, LeToya Luckett.
