In 1997, Destiny's Child released their major label debut song "Killing Time" on the soundtrack to the 1997 film Men in Black. The group changed their name to Destiny's Child in 1996, based upon a passage in the Book of Isaiah. In 1996, the girls began recording their debut album under an agreement with Sony Music, the Knowles family reunited, and shortly after, the group got a contract with Columbia Records. On October 5, 1995, Dwayne Wiggins 's Grass Roots Entertainment signed the group. This put further strain on the family, and Beyoncé's parents separated. The girls auditioned before record labels and were finally signed to Elektra Records, moving to Atlanta Records briefly to work on their first recording, only to be cut by the company. Mathew cut the original line-up to four and the group continued performing as an opening act for other established R&B girl groups. The move reduced Beyoncé's family's income by half, and her parents were forced to move into separated apartments. In 1995, Beyoncé's father resigned from his job to manage the group. Girl's Tyme failed to win, and Beyoncé later said the song they performed was not good. After seeing the group, R&B producer Arne Frager brought them to his Northern California studio and placed them in Star Search, the largest talent show on national TV at the time. They were placed into a group called Girl's Tyme with three other girls, and rapped and danced on the talent show circuit in Houston. When Beyoncé was eight, she and childhood friend Kelly Rowland met LaTavia Roberson while at an audition for an all-girl entertainment group.
