}} Kelendria Trene "Kelly" Rowland (born February 11, 1981) is an American recording artist, actress and television personality. Rowland rose to fame in the late 1990s as a member of Destiny's Child, one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. During their hiatus, Rowland released her debut solo album ''Simply Deep'' (2002), which sold 2.5 million copies worldwide and produced the number-one single "Dilemma" with Nelly, as well as the international top-ten hit "Stole". Rowland also transitioned into acting, with guest appearances in television sitcoms, and starring roles in ''Freddy vs. Jason'' (2003) and ''The Seat Filler'' (2005). Following the disbandment of Destiny's Child in 2005, she released her second album ''Ms. Kelly'' (2007), which included international hits "Like This" and "Work". In 2009, Rowland served as a host on the first season of ''The Fashion Show'', and was featured on David Guetta's number-one dance hit "When Love Takes Over". The song's global success influenced Rowland to explore dance music on her third album ''Here I Am'' (2011), which spawned the international top-ten hit "Commander" and US R&B/Hip-Hop number-one "Motivation". In 2011, she returned to television as a judge on the eighth season of ''The X Factor UK'', and in 2013, became a judge on the third and final season of ''The X Factor USA''. Rowland's fourth album ''Talk a Good Game'' (2013), which saw a return to her "R&B roots", was released to positive reviews. Throughout a career spanning 18 years, Rowland has sold over 27 million records as a solo artist〔http://www.lapresse.it/gossip/kelly-rowland-cambio-pettinatura-piu-delle-mutande-1.460230〕 and 60 million records with Destiny's Child. Her work has earned her several awards and nominations, including four Grammy Awards, a Billboard Music Award and a Soul Train Music Award. Rowland has also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with Destiny's Child, and as a solo artist she has been honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and ''Essence'' for her contributions to music. In 2014, Fuse ranked Rowland in their "100 Most Award-Winning Artists" list at number 20.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=20. Kelly Rowland – Motivation )〕 ==Early life== Kelendria Trene Rowland was born on February 11, 1981, in Atlanta, Georgia. She is the daughter of Doris Rowland Garrison (December 6, 1947 – December 2, 2014)〔http://www.cbsnews.com/news/kelly-rowland-mourns-death-of-her-mother-at-66/〕〔http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kelly-rowland-mom-doris-rowland-garrison-dies-66-2014312〕 and Christopher Lovett and has an older brother named Orlando. When she was seven, her mother took her and left her father, who was an abusive alcoholic. At the age of eight, she relocated to Houston. Rowland was placed into a girl group, along with Beyoncé and friend LaTavia Roberson. Originally named Girl's Tyme in 1992, they were eventually cut down to six members. West coast R&B producer, Arne Frager, flew to Houston to see them and eventually brought them to his studio, The Plant Recording Studio, in Northern California.〔 As part of efforts to sign Girl's Tyme to a major label record deal, Frager's strategy was to debut them in ''Star Search'', the biggest talent show on national TV at that time.〔 They participated, but lost the competition. To manage the group, Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé's father, resigned in 1995 from his job as a medical-equipment salesman. He dedicated his time and established a "boot camp" for their training.〔 At this time Rowland moved in with the Knowles's. Not long after the inclusion of Rowland, Mathew cut the original lineup to four with LeToya Luckett joining in 1993.〔 Rehearsing in Tina Knowles' hairstyling salon and their backyards,〔 the group continued performing as an opening act for other established R&B girl groups of the time.〔 They auditioned before record labels and were finally signed to Elektra Records, only to be dropped months later, before they could release an album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kelly Rowland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
