Rihanna

Barbadian Singer and Businesswoman

Robyn Rihanna Fenty, known mononymously as Rihanna, was born on February 20, 1988, in St. Michael parish, Barbados. She is a Barbadian pop and rhythm-and-blues (R&B) singer who became a worldwide star in the early 21st century. She is known for her distinctive and versatile voice and for her fashionable appearance.

Rihanna grew up in Barbados with a Barbadian father and a Guyanese mother. As a child, she listened to Caribbean music, such as reggae, as well as American hip-hop and R&B. She especially enjoyed singing and won a high-school talent show with a rendition of a Mariah Carey song.

Her career took off when she attracted the attention of Evan Rogers, an American record producer. He helped her record a demo that led to an audition with the rapper Jay-Z, who at the time headed the Def Jam record label, and he soon signed the budding vocalist.

Her debut single “Pon de Replay” (2005) immediately captured an international audience. The song’s success buoyed sales for her debut full-length recording, Music of the Sun (2005), which showcased her melodious Barbadian lilt.
