In The Making of a Child of Destiny: The Andretta Tillman Story, Brian K. Moore Finally Speaks Out About What Really Went on During Destiny Child’s Rise to Fame

The Long-Overdue True Story Has Arrived

Houston, Texas (July 2, 2014) - After years of silence, Brian K. Moore finally sets the record straight about the making of the international phenomenon, Destiny’s Child. In his new book The Making of a Child of Destiny: The Andretta Tillman Story, Moore, former co-manager and partner of Tillman, tells the unforgettable story of her journey that led to the overwhelming success of Beyonce Knowles and Destiny’s Child. For years, Matthew Knowles has been thought to be the driving force behind his daughter’s stardom, but this heart-wrenching tale exposes the behind-the-scenes reality of Destiny’s Child’s rise to fame and how it was actually Tillman that created and managed the group until her untimely death in 1997. In his long-overdue book, Moore details how Knowles maneuvered his way onto the management team and the struggles that went with it. Moore writes, “No one can argue that [Tillman] indeed was a launching pad and catalyst to their success and for  her to miss out on this night was disheartening to say the least.”
