1988–2004: Early life and career beginnings

Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael,
Barbados. Her mother is Monica Braithwaite, a retired Afro-Guyanese
accountant, and her father is Ronald Fenty, a warehouse supervisor of
Barbadian and Irish descent.[13][14] Rihanna has two brothers, Rorrey
and Rajad Fenty, and two half-sisters and a half-brother from her father's
side, each born by different mothers from his previous relationships.
[15][16][17]
Growing up in a three-bedroom bungalow in Bridgetown and
selling clothes with her father on a street stall, Rihanna's childhood was
deeply affected by her father's addiction to crack cocaine, alcohol, and Rihanna grew up in the town of
marijuana, and her parents' turbulent marriage ended when she Bridgetown, Barbados.[12]
was 14.[12][14][18] Rihanna grew up listening to reggae music and began
singing at around the age of seven.[15][19] She attended Charles F.
Broome Memorial Primary School and then the Combermere High School, where she formed a musical trio with
two of her classmates.[15] Rihanna was an army cadet in a sub-military programme; the singer-songwriter

Shontelle was her drill sergeant.[20] Although she initially wanted to graduate from high school, she chose to
g
pursue a musical career instead.[21]
[

Rihanna's career began through her association with American record producer Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers;
she met Rogers through mutual friends in Barbados in December 2003.[22] Rogers soon asked Rihanna to come
to his hotel room, where she performed renditions of the songs "Emotion" and "Hero".[22] This impressed
Rogers, who then took her on various trips to New York, where she was accompanied by her mother, Monica, to
record some demo tapes which could be sent to record labels.[22][23] Rihanna was signed to Rogers' and
Sturken's production company, Syndicated Rhythm Productions, who assigned her a lawyer and manager before
the completed demo tape was distributed to various record labels around the world in late 2004.[23] In February
2005, the president and CEO of Def Jam Recordings Jay-Z requested to meet Rihanna and she auditioned for
him and industry executive L.A. Reid, performing Whitney Houston 's version of "For the Love of You" as well
as the original songs "Pon de Replay" and "The Last Time".[23][24] On the same day of the audition, Rihanna
signed a six-album record deal with Def Jam Recordings, later relocating from Barbados to New York to live
with Rogers and his wife.[23][25]

2005–06: Music of the Sun and A Girl Like Me

Following her signing, Rihanna spent three months recording and completing her
debut album and collaborated with rapper Memphis Bleek on his fourth studio
album 534.[1] The album featured production from Evan Rogers, Carl Sturken,
Stargate and Poke & Tone.[26] Her debut single, "Pon de Replay", was released
on August 22, 2005 and charted highly across the world, peaking at number two
on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.[27] Her debut album,
Music of the Sun, was first released later that month and went on to sell over
two million copies worldwide and received a Gold certification by the Recording
Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of over 500,000
units to retailers in the United States.[28] The album received mixed reviews by
music critics. Rolling Stone magazine gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and described as
lacking the replay value, ingenuity and rhythm of the single with "generic vocal
hiccups and frills" of US R&B inflecting upon her "Caribbean charm".[29] Sal
Cinquemani of Slant Magazine described the album as a "glut of teen R&B
Rihanna performing at the chanteuses " and described her lead single "Pon de Replay" as "a dancehall-pop
Jingle Ball in 2005 mixture that owes plenty of its sweat and shimmy to Beyoncé's "Baby Boy".[26]
A second single, "If It's Lovin' that You Want", was not as successful as its
[30]
predecessor. In October 2005, Rihanna struck an endorsement deal with Secret Body Spray; her first of
[31]
many.

A month after the release of her debut album, she began working on her second studio album.[32] The album
contained production from Evan Rogers, Carl Sturken, Stargate, J. R. Rotem and label-mate singer-songwriter
Ne-Yo.[33] A Girl Like Me was released in April 2006, less than eight months after its predecessor.[34] Its lead
single, "SOS", was an international success following its March 2006 release as it charted in the top five in
Canada, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom and reached number one in the U.S. and
Australia.[35] Critical response to the album was mixed; Rolling Stone magazine commented "Like her filler-
packed debut album, this similar but superior follow-up doesn't deliver anything else as ingenious as its lead
single."[36] The album entered charts across the world, peaking at number one in Canada and at number five in

both the UK and the U.S., where it sold 115,000 copies in its first week.[28][37] "Unfaithful", the album's second
single release, charted in various territories, reaching number one in Portugal, Canada and Switzerland.[38] "We
Ride" and "Break It Off", which featured Sean Paul, were also released as singles.[39][40] Following the release
of the album, Rihanna embarked on her first headlining tour, the Rihanna: Live in Concert Tour, as well as
supporting The Pussycat Dolls on the PCD World Tour and performing alongside Jay-Z and Ne-Yo on the Rock
Tha Block Tour. Rihanna created her Believe Foundation in 2006 to help terminally ill children.[41][42] She also
made her acting debut in a cameo role in the straight-to-DVD film Bring It On: All or Nothing, which was
released on August 8, 2006.[43]

2007–09: Good Girl Gone Bad and subsequent re-release

For her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad, Rihanna embraced a new
musical direction through uptempo dance tracks produced by the likes of
Timbaland, will.i.am and Sean Garrett.[44][45] First released in May 2007, the
album topped the charts in multiple countries including the UK, Brazil, Canada,
Ireland, Japan, Russia and at number two in the US and Australia.[46] The album
received positive reviews by critics, becoming the most critically acclaimed of
her first three albums.[47] The album's lead single, "Umbrella", topped the charts
in thirteen countries and stayed at number one in the UK for ten consecutive
weeks; this made it the longest-running number one single since Wet Wet Wet's
single "Love Is All Around" spent fifteen weeks at the top in 1994.[48][49] It
became Rihanna's first single to be named one of the best-selling singles
worldwide, having sold over 6.6 million singles since being released.[50][51] The
songs "Shut Up and Drive", "Hate That I Love You" and "Don't Stop The Music" Rihanna performing at the
were also released as singles from the album. In support of the album, she kicked Brisbane Entertainment
off her second headlining tour, the Good Girl Gone Bad Tour in September 2007, Centre in 2008
[52]
with a total of 80 shows across the US, Canada and Europe. The same
month, Rihanna became the official face of tourism for Barbados and subsequently featured in many of their
advertising campaigns; she holds the honorary title of Ambassador for Culture and Youth in Barbados.[53] The
50th Grammy Awards saw Rihanna nominated for a string of awards, winning for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration
for "Umbrella" alongside Jay-Z.[54]

Throughout 2008, Rihanna performed on the Glow in the Dark Tour alongside Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and
N.E.R.D.[55] On February 20, 2008, Barbadian Prime Minister David Thompson presented the singer with
several gifts at a national concert in an event named "Rihanna Day".[56][57] To help raise awareness and combat
HIV/AIDS, Rihanna and other public figures designed clothing for the February 2008 H&M Fashion Against
AIDS line.[58][59] Her third album's reissue, Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, was released in June 2008 with
three new songs; Disturbia, Take a Bow and the Maroon 5 duet "If I Never See Your Face Again". All three
were released as singles and charted highly, reaching peak positions across the world.[60][61][62] In August 2008,
Rihanna and Beyoncé Knowles, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey and a host of other female singers recorded the
charity single, "Just Stand Up!", the theme song to the anti-cancer campaign Stand Up to Cancer.[63] "Live
Your Life", Rihanna's duet with the rapper T.I., was first released in November 2008 and peaked in the top five
in Austria, the Netherlands, Canada, Ireland, the UK and Australia, reaching number one in New Zealand and
the U.S.[64] A remix album, Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes, was released in January 2009. Good Girl Gone
Bad has shipped over 2.7 million units in the United States alone, receiving a two-times-platinum certification
from the RIAA and marking Rihanna's best-selling album to date in the country.[28][65] Since its release, Good

Girl Gone Bad has sold over seven million copies worldwide.[66]

2009–10: Domestic violence case and Rated R

On February 8, 2009, Rihanna's scheduled performance at the 51st Grammy
Awards was cancelled.[67] Reports later surfaced regarding an altercation with
then-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, who was arrested on suspicion of making
criminal threats.[68] On March 5, 2009, Brown was charged with assault and
making criminal threats.[69] Due to a leaked photograph from the Los Angeles
Police Department obtained by TMZ.com — which revealed that Rihanna had
sustained visible injuries — an organization known as STOParazzi proposed a
law called "Rihanna's Law," which, if enacted, would "deter employees of law
enforcement agencies from releasing photos or information that exploits crime
victims."[70] Gil Kaufman of VH1 reported the "nonstop coverage of the
Rihanna/Brown case has brought up a number of issues regarding the privacy of
alleged victims of domestic violence, including the decision by almost all major
Rihanna in Paris in April
news outlets to divulge the identity of the victim — which is not typically done
2010
in domestic-violence cases" and the controversial distribution of the leaked
photograph.[71] Rihanna was subpoenaed to testify during a preliminary hearing
in Los Angeles on June 22, 2009.[72] On June 22, 2009, Brown pled guilty to the
g p g y
felony assault. In exchange for his plea Brown received five years probation and was ordered to stay fifty yards
away from Rihanna, unless at p
y public events, which then would be reduced to ten y yards.[73] However, in
[73]
February 2011, at the request of Brown's lawyer, Judge Patricia Schnegg modified with Rihanna's consent the
y q y g gg
restraining order to a "level one order," allowing both singers to appear at awards shows together in the future.
[74][75]

Returning to music after the assault, Rihanna collaborated with Jay-Z and Kanye West on "Run This Town",
which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, number one in the UK, and reached the top ten in ten
other countries after its July 2009 release.[76] Her fourth studio album, Rated R, was released in November
2009.[77] Critical response was favorable; Rolling Stone claimed that Rihanna "transformed her sound and
made one of the best pop records of the year".[78] The album's lead single, "Russian Roulette", received
commercial success, reaching number one in Norway and Switzerland and making the top ten in sixteen other
countries.[79] This was followed by the release of "Hard" with Young Jeezy and "Rude Boy"; the latter became
the biggest worldwide success from the album, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, as well as
claiming top ten positions in twenty-two other countries.[80][81] Two other singles were released from Rated R;
"Rockstar 101" with Slash and "Te Amo".[82][83] Rated R: Remixed was released in the spring of 2010 and
featured ten tracks from the album remixed by Chew Fu.[84] To further promote the album, she embarked on
her second worldwide tour, the Last Girl on Earth Tour.[85] At the 52nd Grammy Awards, "Run This Town" won
'Best Rap Song' and 'Best Rap/Sung Collaboration'.[86]

2010–12: Loud and Talk That Talk

During the summer of 2010, Rihanna collaborated with rapper Eminem on "Love the Way You Lie", which was
a major worldwide success, reaching number one in over twenty countries worldwide.[87] The song became
Rihanna's seventh U.S. number one of her career, making her the female artist with the fifth-most number ones
in the chart's history.[88] Despite reaching number two, the song became the biggest-selling song of 2010 in the

Music and voice

Rihanna possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal range, that spans nearly three octaves. (C#3-B5)[139][140] While
recoding tracks for her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad, Rihanna took vocal lessons from Ne-Yo
stating, "I've never had vocal training, so when I'm in the studio, he'll tell me how to breathe and stuff. ... he'll
call out these big fancy words: 'OK, I want you to do staccato.' And I'm like, 'OK, I don't know what that is.'"[45]
Originally marketed as a reggae singer, Rihanna's musical genre has changed throughout the course of her
career, which includes pop, R&B, hip hop, dance-pop and dancehall.[141] Volume 65 of the Contemporary
Black Biography book series notes that "Rihanna is the rare rhythm and blues (R&B) diva to emerge from the
Caribbean world."[142] Becoming an international sensation, Rihanna is known for blending R&B with
Caribbean music, such as reggae and dancehall.[143] At the time of her debut, reviewers referred to her as a
"bubblegum queen"[144] and her music to "teen pop."[145] Some of her music is also inspired through sampling:
"SOS",[146] "Shut Up and Drive", "Don't Stop the Music", "Cheers (Drink to That)", and "Talk That Talk" all
contain samples from other artist.[147] With the release of her debut album, Music of the Sun (2005), Kelefa

Sanneh of The New York Times complemented the combination of dancehall and reggae genres stating,
"Dancehall reggae sometimes seems like a furiously insular form of music, but ... Rihanna is only the latest
singer to discover how versatile the genre's spring-loaded electronic rhythms can be".[148] Her debut album
featured production from Stargate and, Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, who discovered her and and helped
launch her career with her debut single "Pon de Replay".[45] A Girl Like Me (2006) saw Rihanna infuse a bit of
rock music on the track "Kisses Don't Lie",[149] a sound she would later use on "Shut Up and Drive" and
"Rockstar 101". She enlisted into pop and R&B working again with production duo Sturken and Rogers, J.R.
Rotem and label-mate Ne-Yo.[146][150] The ballads on the album were described as elegant, mature, and that it
displays her artistic growth.[151]

With Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), she took a different direction from the dancehall influence of her previous
efforts with uptempo songs.[152] stating that "[at] this stage I feel like I want to do a lot of uptempo [songs] ...
but still be soulful at the same time."[45] She worked with new producers on the album, including Timbaland,
Sean Garrett, and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart who produced the international hit "Umbrella", which was a
major breakthrough in her career.[153] Rihanna again entered a new musical and lyrical direction with Rated R,
departing from her previous up-tempo and dance-pop style with elements of hip hop, rock, dubstep and
dancehall.[154] Recorded after the assault by her then-boyfriend, Chris Brown, the album had a much darker
tone and was filled with different emotions she experienced throughout 2009.[154] Loud (2010) differed from
her previous release, which featured an angry tone with dark themes, whereas Loud reflects on the sassy, fun,
flirty, and energetic attitude she had while recording the album.[155] The album is a mixture of ballads, party
anthems and empowering love songs with elements of up-tempo and pop genres, ranging from dance-pop to
R&B.[156] Described as "a sexy, sexual record", Talk That Talk (2011) was similar to Rated R, both containing
hip hop, R&B, dancehall and dubstep genres.[157] Loud and Talk That Talk also saw her return to her dancehall
roots, evident in the tracks like "Man Down" and "Watch n' Learn".[158]

Influences

Rihanna has named Madonna as her idol and biggest influence, and said
she wants to be the "black Madonna".[159][160] She said: "I think that
Madonna was a great inspiration for me, especially on my earlier work.
If I had to examine her evolution through time, I think she reinvented her
clothing style and music with success every single time. And at the same
time remained a real force in entertainment in the whole world."[159] She
also cites Whitney Houston as a major influence and idol[161] Mariah
Carey has also been cited as one of Rihanna's influence and idol, whose
song "Hero" she covered while performing at a school talent show.[162]
Of Janet Jackson, Rihanna has commented that "[s]he was one of the
first female pop icons that I could relate to ... You have to love
Janet."[163] Beyoncé Knowles has been named as a major influence,
[164][165]
citing that she was inspired to start her career after watching
Knowles on television as part of a Destiny's Child performance.[166]
Rihanna commented that Marilyn Monroe and vintage clothing served
for visual inspiration for the music video "Hate That I Love You" and
"Rehab"; in contrast, the "dark, creepy" scenes of "Disturbia" have
drawn comparison to Michael Jackson's Thriller.[167][168] Her other

Epaminondas of InStyle considers Rihanna's music videos to be
"cinematic" due to her "blend of lush island rhythms and swinging pop
and ... mischievous sensuality."[175]

Rihanna's music contains strong influences of Caribbean music which
include reggae and dancehall.[176] In an interview, she stated that while
growing up in Barbados she grew up listening to reggae music and when
she came to the United States she was exposed to many different types
of music.[177] The video for "Rude Boy" was inspired by her Caribbean
roots.[176] Rihanna is heavily influenced by the Jamaican singer-
Rihanna has been heavily influenced by
songwriter Bob Marley and stated "[h]e's one of my favorite artists of all
Bob Marley
time [...] he really paved the way for every other artist out of the
Caribbean".[178] She also built a shrine in her Los Angeles home
dedicated to Marley.[179] Rihanna has covered Marley's "Is This Love" and Bob Marley & The Wailers'
"Redemption Song".[180] Rihanna herself has influenced the singers Rita Ora and Justin Bieber.[181][182]

Music videos and performances

Rihanna has often worked with music video director Anthony Mandler on more than a dozen music videos
throughout her career, the first being "Unfaithful" (2006).[183] "We've done 16 videos together; they're not all
tough, [...] Yeah, I mean, I'm known for the 'Disturbia's and the 'Russian Roulette's and things like that, but 'Only
Girl (In the World)' is certainly an ethereal kind of empowering, beauty-filled video," Mandler said.[183] Jocelyn
Vena of MTV wrote, "Rihanna, like Madonna, also has a tendency to make truly thought-provoking music
videos that fit the songs they represent. Smattered in between glitzier, more glamorous clips, Madge and Ri want
us to think about bigger issues".[184] "Unfaithful", "Love The Way You Lie", "Man Down" and "We Found
Love" were shot resembling a short film with issues about love triangles, abusive, and substance abuse
romance.[184] In the accompanying music video for "Umbrella", directed by Chris Applebaum, Rihanna is
shown covered in silver paint and doing a ballet technique.[185] Tamar Anitai from MTV Buzzworthy listed
"Disturbia" at number five on the "Buzzworthy's Top 5 Most Paranoid Music Videos" stating that "Paranoia
never looked so supernaturally sexy!".[186] The Caribbean inspired music video for "Rude Boy" was compared
to rapper M.I.A.'s video "Boyz" by many critics for its colorful aesthetics similarities.[176] In 2011, Rihanna
released three music videos that caused major controversy; the video for her single "S&M" was banned in
eleven countries for its sexual content,[187] "Man Down" was criticized by the Parents Television Council
(PTC), which features Rihanna shooting a man in a train station,[188] and "We Found Love" sparked
controversy from The Rape Crisis Centre for its inappropriate message,[189] which shows Rihanna and her love
interest in a drug-filled unhealthy relationship.[190] Commenting on Rihanna's controversial music videos,
Charne Graham of the Houston Press stated, "Why should Rihanna's music videos get everyone riled up when
others' equally sexual and controversial videos are in rotation?" and that "she just like to make music videos that
give us something to talk about".[191] Her music video for "Where Have You Been" broke the VEVO record for
the most views in a 24-hour period, with 4.93 million views, surpassing the previous record held by Nicki
Minaj's "Stupid Hoe" with 4.8 million.[192] A few days later the record was broken again by Justin Bieber's

9 of 25 10/14/2012 4:10 PM


"Boyfriend", which gained over 8 million views.[193] Rihanna is also the first woman to pass 2 billion views on
the website YouTube.[194]

While performing at the Ottawa Bluesfest, Denis Armstrong of Canadian Online Explorer commented on her
performance saying "her show was a Disney-esque choreographed fantasy of non-stop hip-swiveling, sassy
attitude and personal endearments and a string of funky, sugar-free hits."[144] Her performance of "Disturbia" at
the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards was ranked tenth best ever on the MTV Video Music Awards, according to
poll by Billboard.[195] Her revealing leather costumes during her Good Girl Gone Bad Tour were highly
criticized when Malaysia's conservative Islamic party recommended that her concert tour should be banned
from performing due to her skimpy outfits during each show.[196] Whilst commenting on her third album's
accompanying tour, The Times compared Rihanna's stage wardrobe styling to that of Janet Jackson and "a vision
of Ann Summers couture in thigh-high boots and a few scraps of black PVC."[197] In the October 2011 issue of
British Vogue, Rihanna claimed that her performance outfits and appearances are all an act; "[t]hat’s not me.
That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art, with all these toys and textures to play with".[198]

Public image

New York magazine described Rihanna's early look as that of a cookie-cutter
teen queen while stating that she has the ability to shift looks dramatically and
with great ease.[199] Around the time of the release of her second album, many
critics felt that Rihanna's sound and musical material were too similar to those of
Beyoncé.[200][201][202] Negative reviews appeared, in which her music,[203]
music videos, performances[204][205] and her image were compared to those of
Beyoncé,[206] garnering Rihanna much criticism.[207] Some media even claimed
that Jay-Z fashioned her to be a replica of Beyoncé.[205][208] Rihanna went on
to state in an interview with Look magazine that "Beyoncé is a great artist and I
feel honored to be mentioned in the same sentence, but we're different
performers with different styles".[209] With her third studio album, Good Girl
Gone Bad (2007), she revealed a new image because "it shows people I'm not
Rihanna performing "Hard"
trying to look or be anybody else."[44] Larry Meyler of The Sun stated that
on her Last Girl on Earth
"Rihanna going bad is very good" and that she had "[shaken] off any 'teen pop'
Tour
image."[145] Sonya Magett of Black Voices reported that Rihanna's style has
become quite risqué since she burst onto the scene four years ago.[210]
Commenting on the cultural expectation for pop stars to be role models, she said "I just want to make music.
That's it".[198]

Rihanna's appearance has won her many notable plaudits; she has appeared on Maxim's Hot 100 list five
consecutive years, listed in positions eight in 2007,[211] fifteen in 2008,[212] eight in 2009,[213] six in 2010, and
twenty-two in 2011.[214] She was also listed on People's 10 Best Dressed Stars of 2008,[215] and ranked
seventeenth on Glamour magazine's list of the 50 Most Glamorous Women in 2009.[216] Tracey Lomrantz of
Glamour commented, "If style risks could be measured in miles, Rihanna would have criss-crossed the globe a
thousand times over already."[217] Rihanna was also declared as Woman of the Year 2009 by Glamour.[218] In
June 2007, Gillette named her the Venus Breeze's Celebrity Legs of a Goddess.[219] In October 2011, Esquire
declared Rihanna as the Sexiest Woman Alive for 2011.[220] Rihanna has four wax figures of herself at Madame
Tussauds Wax Museums in Washington D.C., Vienna, Berlin and London.[221][222][223] Rihanna was at number
twenty of the most influential people of 2011 voted by Time readers.[224] Rihanna was also ranked the fourth

10 of 25 10/14/2012 4:10 PM


most powerful celebrity in 2012 with earnings of $53 million between May 2011 and May 2012, according to
Forbes.[10] The singer is the female with the most "likes" on the social network Facebook.[225] She has won
multiple records in the Guinness World Records, noting titles as the first woman in the UK to have five number
one singles in five consecutive years, the singer with most number one singles in a year and the artist with most
digital number one singles in the United States.[226][227] Rihanna has been named the best-selling digital artist of
all time in the United States, having sold 47,571,000 million singles and albums.[228]
