Soon thereafter, the girl group 'Girl's Tyme' became Destiny’s Child. The group was managed by Beyoncé’s father, who quit his job to become their full time manager, while Beyoncé’s mother continued working in her hair salon and served as the group’s stylist and seamstress.

A few years after the group was formed, the stars took a hiatus to focus on their solo careers, but after three years they came back and achieved international fame.
