Rihanna
Robyn Rihanna Fenty, better known as just Rihanna, is currently one of the top selling female R&B artists. When she's not offering you her umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh eh, she is also a model and philanthropist. She created the Believe Foundation in 2006. She continues to dominate the charts, competing mainly against Beyonce, whom she is often compared to. She's had six number one singles, received 9 Grammy nominations and she's not slowing down anytime soon.
Don't Stop the Music
When Rihanna was only 16, she moved from Barbados to the US with record producer Evan Rogers. After a year of recording demos, she was lucky enough to audition for Def Jam President Jay-Z, who quickly signed her to his label. The rest is musical history but we can still talk about it.

* '''A Girl Like Me''' up album. It was released just 8 months later, in April 2006. She avoided the deadly sophomore album failure plague, an unfortunate disease that kills off so many artists. The album climbed to number 5 on the charts thanks to her number 1 single "SOS" (which had a little help from the song "Tainted Love"). The musical style is similar to her previous album, however it incorporates more Caribbean elements as well as some rock inspiration. Lyrically, she looked to her own personal experiences, mostly dealing with romantic relationships.
