She is a cousin of American singers Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, and has made songwriting contributions to several of Beyoncé's albums including Dangerously in Love, Destiny Fulfilled, B'Day, and I Am... Sasha Fierce. She was cast as hair salon assistant Pamela "Pam" Malbrough in the Tyler Perry-created BET comedy drama series Sistas. Beyincé began her career in the entertainment industry as an officially-credited assistant on Beyoncé co-starring films The Fighting Temptations (2003), The Pink Panther (2006), and Dreamgirls (2006). She also worked as Vice President of Operations at Parkwood Entertainment during the planning, execution, negotiations, and release of Beyoncé's surprise fifth studio album, with the Parkwood team and their decisions later analyzed in a Harvard Business School case. In the early 2000s, Beyincé was a frequent co-writer and participant in Beyoncé's studio sessions, resulting in songwriting credits on many of her songs, including "Get Me Bodied", "Why Don't You Love Me", "Upgrade U", and the hit song "Naughty Girl", as well as the number one single "Check on It". She has also written songs for Destiny's Child ("Girl"), K-pop group Playback, close friend Kelly Rowland, and the Fox television show Star. Her contributions to various albums have resulted in several ASCAP songwriting awards. In 2020, Beyincé was cast by casting director Kim Coleman (Blackkklansman, Lovecraft Country, Snowfall) for an appearance on the OWN primetime Tyler Perry soap opera If Loving You Is Wrong. Later that year, Beyincé was cast as hair salon assistant Pamela "Pam" Malbrough, a recurring (and, in later seasons, regular) character, in the Perry-created BET comedy drama series Sistas. She also serves as a consultant producer for the show.
