Solange Knowles

This week's "Artist Of The Week" is not a super new artist but I feel she has reinvented herself in such a way that she does seem new. She is also proving that her big sister is not the only superstar in the family. So who am I talking about Solange Knowles. Solange was born June 24, 1986 in Houston, Texas she is the little sister of mega super Beyonce but she is definitely doing music on her own terms. Solange who is not only a singer also dabbles in songwriting, acting and modeling. She also is known for her DJ skills. Showing an interest in music recording at an early age, she eventually broke into the music scene at 16. She released her first album called "Solo Star" in 2003. Which has been her most successful album to date. She also released her second album in 2008 called "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard 200 charts. What got my attention was her song called " Losing You" from her upcoming album set to be released this year. Her more laid back striped down style is what makes her musical style special and unique. Solange makes sure she is making her own mark and footprint on the music world and that she is much much more than the little sister of big sister Beyonce. Trust me this song proves that so take a listen and tell me what you think. Remember you can follow me on twitter @StarsOnTheRise and like my page on facebook just look for the logo!
