Beyonce, her birth name being Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, was born in Texas to a Xerox sales manager and a salon owner. When she was of grade school age she attended St. Mary's Montessori School where she took part in dance classes.
It was actually her dance instructor who realized Beyonce's talent when she was humming a song one day and was able to sing impressive high notes. Her interest in music took off after she won a talent show with teenagers when she was only 7 years old. After that she joined a few different choirs and took off from there!
