Robyn Rihanna Fenty (born February 20, 1988), principally known by the stage name Rihanna, is a Barbadian R&B singer with musical influences from Pop, reggae, dancehall, and soca.

 

She has traveled to Barbados to film the video for her new single "We Ride" and the follow-ups "Break It Off" and "Kisses Don't Lie".

 

Rihanna was born in the parish of St. Michael, on the Caribbean island nation of Barbados as the first of three children to Ronald Fenty, a Barbadian father of Irish ancestry and Monica Fenty, a Guyanese mother. She pursued her primary education at Charles F. Broome Memorial School and her secondary education at one of Barbados' grammar schools, the prestigious Combermere School, where she formed a musical trio with two of her classmates. She won the Miss Combermere Pageant in 2004; her talent was singing. In November 2004, she performed at the Colours of Combermere School show, singing Mariah Carey's "Hero".

 

Rihanna received her big break at the age of fifteen when one of her friends introduced her to music producer Evan Rogers while he was vacationing in Barbados with his Barbadian wife Jackie. [1] Rogers, along with his partner Carl Sturken, helped Rihanna record demo material in the United States that was sent to various recording companies including Def Jam, where Rihanna auditioned for CEO Jay-Z and was signed on the spot at the age of sixteen.
