Rihanna Biography 

Born as Robyn Rihanna Fenty in 1988 in Barbados, %cRihanna% was like any other teenage girls of her age who attended high school and loved to sing for fun together with certain friends. It all began to change drastically after she was introduced to Evan Rogers, a New York City music maker who is also the proprietor of Syndicated Beat Productions. Rogers and his Barbadian wife named Jackie happened to be in Barbados to spend their 2003 Christmas vacation near St. Michael, Rihanna's hometown. Impressed with her amazing voice, Rogers offered Rihanna to record a few tracks in New York by spring. 

Together with Rogers and his partner, Carl Sturken, Rihanna formed almost twelve songs, taking inspiration from dancehall and ragamuffin which are the musical culture of her origin and mixed them with R&B tunes. "My music is for the most part Caribbean beats mixed with R&B," she described eagerly. "I don't want to be pigeon holed into being only a dance artist because I can sing too. I have ballads on the album as well as upbeat tracks." like a diamond

Looking for a label, Rihanna landed her feet at Def Jam Recordings in which Shawn Carter or popularly known as %cJay-Z% has become the president as well as its Chief. Upon witnessing her performance, the acclaimed rapper quickly offered her a recording contract on the spot. She afterwards set out to gather materials for her debut album, co-writing a large portion of its tracks. "Pon De Replay" eventually was released on May 25, 2005. The single ended up being a great piece of music as it was labeled one of the late spring's most blazing jams in U.S.. rihanna bikini

Achieving accomplishment with "Pon De Replay," Rihanna put her would like to repeat the same attainment on her first album "Music of the Sun" which was launched on August 30, 2005. With tracks featuring both %cElephant Man% and %cVybz Kartel%, it provided some serious heat to consume either radio stations or clubs all through the nation. It was genuinely like a dream coming valid for the enchanting entertainer. "If I hadn't met Evan and Carl I might have quite recently been dreaming until the end of time. I am so thankful for everything they've done for me," Rihanna said gratefully. Dream or no dream, her debut album, recorded by RIAA, received Gold in U.S. and Platinum in several other countries. She was soon the highly anticipated act that %cGwen Stefani% tapped her to open her tour. 

This achievement was relayed by Rihanna's sophomore set titled "A Girl Like Me" that was out in April 2006, only eight months after the first album's release. Instead of crushing her career, the surge actually brought a greater triumph for her. The lead single "SOS" entered Billboard Hot 100 chart at #1 and therefore marked her first No.1 song. The same song gained popularity in U.K. and Australia pursued by equally strong "Unfaithful". The third single released "We Ride" be that as it may, didn't meet the same fate as it failed to enter the Hot 100 chart but was sufficient to send the album to 2x platinum sale. 

Having a decent beat, Rihanna released the third album 'Great Girl Gone Bad' the following year. Before the package arrived on the shelves, first single "Umbrella" featuring Jay-Z had a moderate start in Billboard Hot 100 by entering the chart under Top 40. In any case, the catchy chorale and new beat quickly won the single a greatly improved karma by peaking at no.1 in U.K. single chart and a ten consecutive weeks reign at the same position. Receiving for the most part favorable reviews, the third studio exertion topped the charts in multiple countries including the U.K., Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Japan, Russia and at number two in the U.S. and Australia. A headlining tour was kicked off in September 2007 to help the album. She was then a successive nominated artist and winner of awards occasions including High schooler Choice Awards, Grammy Awards and MTV Video Music Awards in 2007. 

So effective was "Great Girl Gone Bad" that it was re-released in June 2008 under the title "Great Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded". Three new songs, "Disturbia", "Take a Bow" and "If I Never Observe Your Face Again", were added as bonus. All three amazingly went well on the chart and supported the sale of the remix album "Great Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes", which was released in January 2009. 

In the peak of her prosperity, a tragedy struck Rihanna's personal life. On the eve she should perform at the 51st Grammy Awards, Rihanna got into a physical altercation with then-boyfriend %cChris Brown%. It quickly became hot news as Rihanna and Dark colored's romance had been under the spotlight all that year. Darker was arrested for assaulting Rihanna and making criminal threats. Photo of Rihanna's battered and bruised face surfaced online, leading to many challenges and hatred for Darker. In June 2009, Dark colored conceded to the felony assault and received five years probation in exchange of his plea. He was also requested to stay fifty yards away from Rihanna. 

Rihanna was back to record music in July 2009, collaborating with %cKanye West% and her mentor %cJay-Z% in "Run This Town". Several months later, her fourth studio album "Rated R" was released with "Russian Roulette" as the first single. Nonetheless, it was third single "Inconsiderate Kid" that became the album's juggernaut, peaking at number 1 on Billboard Hot 100 for about a month and a half. She went on Last Girl on Earth Tour to help the album, traveling worldwide. Rihanna also made a fruitful collaboration with %cEminem% on "Love the Way You Lie", which touched the subject very sensitive to her heart; domestic violence. The song went number 1 in excess of 20 countries. 

Rihanna announced in October 2010 that she had parted ways with manager Marc Jordan and joined Jay-Z's Roc Nation. She released new single "Only Girl (On the planet)" that year as the first offering from her fifth studio album, "Noisy". The song was trailed by "What's My Name?", featuring %cDrake%, that reached number one on several charts even before its forerunner. "Only Girl" continued winning a Grammy Award in 2011 for Best Dance Recording and Rihanna embarked on another headlining tour which was sold out in many dates. Actress and singer Selena Gomez personal statistics

A year after "Noisy" hit the market, another studio album called "Talk That Talk" was released in November 2011. The lead single, "We Discovered Love", topped charts in eighteen countries worldwide, peaking on the top ten in thirty countries and breaking a string of records worldwide. Rihanna won Video of the Year award at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. Surprisingly, Rihanna reconciled with Dark colored to record a remix of her songs called "Birthday Cake" and "Turn Up the Music" for the new album. In fact, she would be seen on the same scenes with Dark colored from that point on. 

Rihanna starred in her first theatrical feature film "Battleship", which was released on May 18, 2012. Her acting was labeled mediocre by many critics. Rihanna was soon back in the studio to record her seventh studio album, "Unapologetic", featuring another collaboration with Dark colored called "Nobody's Business". The album's lead single "Diamonds" peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. On top of releasing the album on November 19, 2012, Rihanna had planned a worldwide tour that begins in March 2013. Saiyami Kher Biography, and Physical Stats

She announced the album's title, "Anti", and unveiled its spread art in late 2015, but the year finished with no R8 in sight. 

The long wait was finally over in late January 2016, when she released the album on Jay-Z's Tidal. It was made available exclusively on the service for a couple of days before hitting iTunes and other retailers. As part of her partnership with Samsung, she also gave away a million copies of the album to Samsung clients. Because of that, the record was immediately certified Platinum by the RIAA, however Nielsen wouldn't tally the free copies for the Billboard 200 chart. Bhumi Pednekar Bio Data and Physical Statistics
