(2005) There's nothing like the warm spirit of the Caribbean to re-energize a dry, stale season of the same old song and dance. And with summer fast approaching there couldn't be a better time for Barbados-born singer Rihanna to break into an industry that is eager to celebrate the next big thing.

Thanks to multi-platinum island-born superstars like Sean Paul, Shaggy and Elephant Man, the mainstream has been primed for a rhythmic female star to step into the forefront of popular music. Besides ripping traditional reggae tracks like a seasoned dancehall queen, the stunning 17-year-old Rihanna possesses a powerful singing voice that conjures up feelings and experiences way beyond her years.

It's no wonder that all it took was a quick audition with Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, President and CEO of Def Jam Recordings, for the green-eyed beauty to solidify a recording contract with the multi-million dollar record company. While that performance ended up changing her life forever, the sweet natured island girl laughs at her own naiveté at the time. "I was in the lobby shaking!," remembers Rihanna with a healthy dose of her Bajan accent hanging onto every one of her words. "I saw just a little bit of Jay's face down the hall and I was just like, 'Oh my God!' I had never met a celebrity, and to meet a celebrity who's also the president of the label, that was crazy!!"

Luckily Rihanna was able to shake the jitters as soon as she started her impromptu showcase, a performance that forced her future label bosses to sign the deal before she walked out of their offices. "We were there until 4:30 in the morning closing the deal. Every time I signed my name I was just smiling." Growing up in the parish of St. Michael, Barbados, it never occurred to Rihanna that one day she would be sitting in the company of mega music moguls.

Before moving to the US in 2005, Rihanna lived somewhat of a simple life on her home island where she attended high school and like most teenage girls sang songs for fun with her friends. Aside from winning her school's beauty and talent pageant, Rihanna never realized how talented she really was until she attracted the attention of a New York City music producer named Evan Rogers.

Evan and his partner, Carl Sturken, have produced hits for such artists as Christina Aguilera, Ruben Studdard and Kelly Clarkson. Evan and his Barbadian wife Jackie were vacationing over Christmas near Rihanna’s hometown and through a mutual friend were introduced to the young diva. After hearing her belt out a couple of tunes Evan realized Rihanna’s future star power and invited her to New York to record some tracks.

Rihanna, Evan and Carl ended up creating close to a dozen songs. Together they pulled inspiration from the dancehall and reggae that are embedded in Rihanna’s rich musical culture and fused it with a fresh R&B soul sound - a mixture Rihanna likes to compare to one of her favorite Caribbean dishes, callaloo. "It's like a gumbo or a stew," explains Rihanna. "My music is mostly Caribbean beats mixed with R&B. I don't want to be pigeon holed into being just a dance artist because I can sing too. I have ballads on the album as well as upbeat tracks."

Rihanna’s debut album promises to have all the ingredients that make musical magic. And like her influences Beyonce, Alicia Keys, and Mariah Carey, Rihanna is a talented songwriter who has co-written much of her album. "Music is in my D.N.A.!" exclaims the bright eyed singer. Her first single "Pon De Replay" is sure to mash up dancehalls worldwide with Rihanna’s soul stirring vocals demanding the DJ to play her song again and again 'til it touches every single person within earshot. With tracks featuring both Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel, Rihanna is guaranteed to supply some serious heat for both radio and clubs nationwide.

Rihanna is indeed living a real life Cinderella story. "If I hadn't met Evan and Carl I might have just been dreaming forever," she muses. "I am so thankful for everything they’ve done for me." Soon the whole world will be giving both Rihanna and her producers thanks.

(2006) If nothing else, it has been an eventful and eye opening year for Barbados born songstress Rihanna. In addition to recording one of the most popular singles of 2005, the hypnotic "Pon De Replay" (which bass bumped out of more car windows while igniting a slew of barbeques last summer), she won over the masses with her charming Bajan persona.

"So much has happened in my life, I feel like I've grown five years in a year," she gushes. No doubt, by the time Def Jam Records released Rihanna's debut album Music of the Sun, it was obvious that this young woman was more than a one-hit wonder. With a work ethic reminiscent of Motown sisters back in the day when soul reigned supreme, Rihanna traveled throughout the world.

2005 saw Rihanna rocking the mic on tour with Gwen Stefani, making crowds sweat in Japan, posing for magazine covers in Los Angeles and shooting her first film role for Bring It On Yet Again. This was a long way from the quiet life she led in Barbados in the parish of St.Michael. Robyn Rihanna Fenty has come through her musical initiation process unscathed. And now she is poised for everything that 2006 may hold as she readies to do it again with her sophomore release A Girl Like Me.

"I grew up so much this past year. I had no choice. To pursue my dreams, and with their support, I left my entire family in Barbados to move to the States. It was a little scary to have no friends or family and all of a sudden step into a recording studio," recalled Rihanna.

"2005 taught me the dedication and responsibility it takes to make this dream a reality. Waking up at 5:00 am to start rehearsals, the training, the schoolwork, interviews, video shoots, going all day; it always seemed glamorous but it is real work. My love for music and singing will never change but the rose colored glasses are no longer so rosy."

"Many times over the past year, I didn't have anyone my age with me. When recording this album, I wanted it to seem like I was having a personal conversation with girls my age," says the eighteen-year-old singer. "People think, because we're young, we aren't complex, but that's not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might. My goal on A Girl Like Me was to find songs that express the many things young women want to say, but might not know how."

Dropping from the harmonic heavens to the groovalistic dance floor, Rihanna has returned with another single that will have listeners begging the d.j. to play it one more time. Produced by Jason Rotem, the sizzling "S.O.S." is bringing the summer heat early this year. With its hypnotic beat and enticing melody, "S.O.S." utilizes the electro-funk of Soft Cell's '80s classic "Tainted Love" to făurite a soulful anthem of young love.

"I got excited when I first heard this track and three days later, it was recorded," Rihanna says. Turning heads with its rebel sound, "S.O.S." has been used as the theme song for their NIKE latest women's line, which can be viewed on NikeWomen.com. "Making that commercial was yet another new experience," she says. "It took six days to shoot, but working with choreographer Jamie King (Madonna and Shakira) was amazing."

Focusing on progressing as an artist, Rihanna has recorded a compelling track of heartbreak called "Unfaithful." Penned by her label-mate Ne-Yo and Stargate, the song documents the tragic decay of a relationship when another person starts cheating.

Yet, in this instance, it is the girl who has strayed. "On a lot of records, men talk about cheating as though it's all a game. For me, 'Unfaithful' is not just about stepping out on your man, but the pain that it causes both parties."

Perhaps the most surprising track is the rock meets island vibe of "Kisses Don't Lie." Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken, the principles of her production company, SRP, used a mixture of Caribbean elements, electric guitar and a mesmerizing bassline." Coming from Barbados, I really hadn't heard that much rock music," Rihanna confesses. "Touring with Gwen changed my perspective. So, when I was discussing this project with L.A. Reid, Chairman of Island Def Jam Records, I made sure to say I want to experiment with some rock."

During the recording of A Girl Like Me, Rihanna jet set down to Jamaica to record with Sean Paul on the yardie duet "Break It Off." Smiling, Rihanna explains, "I have so much respect and love for Sean Paul. He took me to visit the Bob Marley Museum before going into the studio, which was an amazing experience. When we finally got to the studio, I felt as though Marley's spirit was in the room with us."

With A Girl Like Me, the beautiful singer proves that her breakthrough was no fluke. After selling 1 million copies worldwide of her debut Music Of The Sun, once again, the summer belongs to Rihanna.

(2007) Rihanna's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad , continued her success and, more notably, signaled a change of direction. Whereas her past two albums had been been imbalanced -- often weighed down by faceless balladry and canned Caribbean-isms -- Good Girl Gone Bad was a first-rate dance-pop album. Moreover, it was surprisingly solid, stacked with potential singles and easily enjoyable from beginning to end. Collaborators included Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Timbaland, and StarGate.

Beginning with the hypnotic hotness of "Umbrella," which recently won MTV VMAs for "VIDEO OF THE YEAR" and "MONSTER SINGLE OF THE YEAR," Rihanna brilliantly captures the makings of a musical icon. The head nodding beat was crafted by Tricky Stewart. In addition, Tricky makes a second appearance with the equally danceable "Breakin' Dishes."

One of the songs Rihanna bought to this groundbreaking project was the rock-out of "Shut Up and Drive." With the power of a rock goddess, this track will surprise many.

Pulling-out the big beats, Rihanna has recruited music man of the year Timbaland. Tim contributes three powerful tracks to Good Girl Gone Bad. Using his trademarked electro soundscapes, Tim's fractured beats and futuristic sensibility fuels his collaborations with Rihanna.

Beginning with the wild ride of "Sell Me Candy," Timbaland's art of funky noise mixes well with Rihanna's maturing vocal palette, along with the Justin Timberlake penned "Rehab" and "Lemme Get That".

Teaming once again with label-mate," Ne-Yo, who is known as much for his stellar songwriting skills, (he penned her # 1 hit, "Unfaithful"), the two talents share the microphone on the heart-wrenching duet "Hate That I Love You," produced the Stargate. Ne-Yo also lends his writing hand to the Shea Taylor produced "Question Existing" and the bombastic title track.

Good Girl Gone Back is Rihanna's first masterpiece. Never falling back on old moves, Rihanna has crafted the finest disc of her short career. Good Girl Gone Bad is the kind of music that builds longevity, and now there's no looking back.

Robyn Rihanna Fenty (nascuta in 1988 pe 20 februarie), cunoscuta dupa numele de scena Rihanna este o artista R&B din insulele Barbados.

Rihanna a dat lovitura in vara lui 2005, cu `Pon de Replay` - un cantec omniprezent precum soarele in Caraibe. Melodia a scos-o brusc din anonimat si a facut-o superstar, asa cum `Get Busy` il facea faimos pe Sean Paul.

Cantecul i-a utilizat mai mult decat toate concursurile de frumusete castigate in adolescenta – frumoasa cu tegument ciocolatie si ochi verzi a ramas cunoscuta doar in Indiile de Vest, pana cand `Pon de Replay` a facut-o celebra.

Cariera muzicala a inceput dintr-o pura intamplare – Evan Rogers (faimos producator) isi petrecea vacanta in insulele Barbados. Cineva i-a facut cunostinta cu Rihanna, si, dupa ce i-a `simtit` talentul si potentialul, i-a propus fetei sa imprime cateva cantece.

Primele ei melodii demo au ajus la Jay Z – boss-ul Def Jam Records, au starnit interesul si Rihanna a fost invitata sa semneze un contract.

In vara lui 2005 Def Jam a lansat `Pon de Replay` - primul single de pe discul de debut al Rihannei - `Music of the Sun`. Era un mix de ritmuri de Carraibe si urban-pop. Piesa a prins aproape instantaneu si a atentat la debutantul loc in topul Billboard, reusind sa ajunga pana pe locul 2 in conditiile in care albumul `Music of the Sun` nu fusese inca lansat.

Al doilea album a aparut in 2006 - `A Girl Like Me`, la doar opt luni de la discul de debut. `A Girl Like Me` a debutat pe locul 4 in Statele Unite si pe 6 in Marea Britanie iar melodia aleasa sa-l promoveze - `SOS` a urcat pe cea mai inalta pozitie in Billboard Hot 100. Si urmatorul sau cantec `Unfaithfull` a patruns fara probleme in Top 10, dar piesa cu nr trei aleasa sa promoveze `A Girl Like Me` - `We Ride` - nu s-a bucurat de un succes la fel de mare.

Rihanna si-a facut debutul pe marele ecran cu un rol pasager in `Bring It On – All Or Nothing` iar pentru a doua jumatate a lui 2007 pregateste un nou album, care va fi mai aproape de Dance decat de R&B. Se zvoneste ca pentru acest album ea lucraza cu Jermaine Dupri, Timbaland, Diddy si Scott Scorch.
