In 2006, the new A Girl Like Me disc showed, how Rihanna grew up after moving to the USA to live and work. In order to promote further the album the artist sang as an opening act for Gwen Stefani during her tour. Since such an assured and strong debut, the young beauty got two profitable proposals at once - to take part in advertising Nike and J.C. The single was followed by the debut release Music Of The Sun. This danceable thing, combining Caribbean beats with pop music, became an instant hit and moved from the top of the USA chart We Belong Together of the pop-queen Mariah Carey. In the summer of 2005, she released with all her hope the first single Pon De Replay. The significant and lucky events happened one after the other, and Rihanna signed the contract with the label without any hesitations right after the performance. He also could not pass by such a precious girl and invited her for an audition.
One of these works got into the hands of the Def Jam's head Shawn Carter, more known as Jay-Z. Rogers assisted Rihanna in recording several demos and sending them to different recording companies. At the same time, the famous producer realized that Rihanna is a true treasure and invited her to the USA. Dreaming of becoming a pop-singer girl caught it at once that the success of that acquaintance is the key to her future as Rogers worked with such stars like N’Sync, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson. Therefore, Rihanna had to spare her time on the native island until she got a big chance for fame - the girl was introduced to producer Evan Rogers, who was having rest in Barbados. Anyway, Barbados is an island, separated by the Ocean from the main land, though it is a popular vocational area. The beauty Rihanna showed different talents since her childhood - if she had lived somewhere on the continent, she would surely have become popular far earlier.
Rihanna became the eldest child in the family - her parents gave birth to two sons.
Robyn Rihanna Fenty, known as singer and model under her second name Rihanna, was born in a city of Saint Michael in the island republic of Barbados.
