Rowland who is a founding member of
Destiny's Child, one the world's iconic all female super groups, is
also a successful solo artiste selling more than four million albums
worldwide. Her seductive collaboration with St. Louis rapper Nelly
on the global hit “Dilemma” from her debut album ‘Simply
Deep’ earned her, her first solo Grammy and the distinction
of becoming the first member of the girl group to have achieved a US
number-one single. Her follow up album, ‘Miss Kelly’ spawned
the international number-one single “Work”
which also resulted in a slew of top awards across the US, UK, Asia
and Holland.
In addition to her remarkable music
career, Kelly has also made strides in acting, appearing in films and
television productions including a starring role in the 2003 horror
flick, ‘Freddy vs. Jason’, the 2004 romantic comedy ‘The
Seat Filler’ (executively produced by Hollywood’s most bankable
star, Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith,) as well as several
guest appearances on television series such as The Hughleys,
American Dreams, Girlfriends and Eve.
The singer is also set to make waves in reality television as she gets
set to host a new series on the cable network Bravo called ‘The
Fashion Show’ alongside acclaimed fashion designer Isaac
Mizrahi.
Ms Kelly’s sultry voice, natural
charm, charisma and smooth melodies will undoubtedly appeal to the CFW
