Knowles also established joint ventures with Sony Music, Interscope/Geffen/A&M, Fontana/Universal, Integrity Africa, Fontana International, and Sony Brazil.[10] Knowles became manager of the vocal group Destiny's Child, working as either a producer or an executive producer on many of the group's projects.[11] By 1997 he had secured the group a label deal with Columbia Records and a feature on the Men in Black soundtrack.[12] During this time, Knowles brought in producers such as Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Dupri, and Master P to focus on a fusion of hip hop with R&B to cross over to different audiences. Under Music World Artist Management, Destiny's Child became a top-selling group, winning several awards including Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, BET Awards, and many others. Billboard magazine inducted the group into the All Time Hot 100 Artists.[13] Knowles also managed the solo careers of Destiny's Child members Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.
