Mini bio
How it started.
Rihanna grew up in Barbados. A 2003 performance for visiting producers Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken helped her get started as a teenager. Her debut album, Music of the Sun, followed on Def Jam in 2005, with “Pon de Replay” introducing her dancehall roots to a wider audience.
Finding her voice.
Good Girl Gone Bad arrived in 2007 with “Umbrella,” the Jay-Z collaboration that brought her first Grammy. She kept changing her sound through albums including Loud and Unapologetic. On ANTI, released in January 2016, she also served as executive producer and shared creative direction with Ciarra Pardo.
Beyond the records.
She launched Fenty Beauty in September 2017 with 40 foundation shades. Her film work includes voicing and producing Smurfs. She also founded the Clara Lionel Foundation in 2012, naming it for her grandparents Clara and Lionel Braithwaite.
