About Solange
Solange was born in Houston in 1986 and has made her hometown central to her art. After early years writing songs and dancing behind Destiny's Child, she built a career entirely her own, culminating in A Seat at the Table, which hit number one on the Billboard 200 in 2016 and won her a Grammy for "Cranes in the Sky."
Her 2019 follow-up When I Get Home is a love letter to Houston's Third Ward, woven with the city's chopped-and-screwed legacy and named for the neighborhoods she grew up around. She has since composed for the New York City Ballet, extending her work far beyond pop.
