Like many of our modern epic voices, Letoya’s phenomenal musical journey began in the humble surroundings of the church choir. It didn’t take long for her immense talent to catch the eye of Matthew Knowles, founder and manager of the group then titled “Girl Time”. Girl Time later morphed itself into the group now known as Destiny’s Child, which sold millions on their first self-titled release and was hailed as one of the most popular female R&B groups today.
Luckett was a member of Destiny’s Child from 1993 – 2000 prior to her dismissal from the group. Although the split was contentious, LeToya has moved forward to pursue her dreams as an artist.
Letoya Luckett, born March 11th in Houston, Texas, is a two time Grammy Award winning artist and songwriter with many talents.
Currently signed to Capitol Records, she is working on her self-titled debut album, scheduled for a spring 2006 release, includes her lead single “All Eyes On Me” which features today’s most recognizable rappers out of the Southwest, Paul Wall & Slim Thugg. The project will be LeToya’s first solo venture since her days as a Destiny’s Child original member.
Luckett states, “It’s about coming into your own, getting your self-esteem up”. “It’s a real hot club joint.”
The album producers include, Jermaine Dupri (Usher, Mariah Carey), Just Blaze(Jay Z and DMX), Bryan-Michael Cox (Alicia Keys, Jessica Simpson) and Jazze Phe, while Houston rappers Mike Jones, Slim Thugg, Paul Wall and Bun B make guest appearances and add some local star power.
“I’m representing Houston, I’ve always felt privileged to be from Houston and I am glad people are seeing talent come from there”, says Luckett.
While with Destiny’s Child, LeToya was multi-platinum nominated National Recording Artist and two time winner at the 2001 Grammy Awards.
In 2000, LeToya was nominated for a Grammy as a co-writer on the first album DESTINY’S CHILD for the single “Bills Bills Bills”.
She went on to win two Grammy’s as both co-writer and a National Recording Artist for “Say My Name” from the second album WRITINGS ON THE WALL in 2001, which is RIAA Certified DIAMOND (10M SOLD).
She has appeared on many national and local TV programs including BET, MTVMTVJams, Motown Live, Disney’s “Smart Guy”, Regis and Kathy Lee, Soul Train, Late Nite with Conan O’Brien, MTV Italy, UK/Top of the Pops and many others.
In addition to her recording career, LeToya has ventured into the fashion industry with a new store in Houston “Lady Elle” boutique which carries women’s clothing including accessories, shoes, boots, jewelry, purses and holds different designer labels, such as Bejewled, Joe Jeans, Hale bob and more.
A true survivor, get ready for this child’s destiny to be fulfilled…
