Biography
Rihanna was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, to Ronald Fenty of
Barbados. and Monica Fenty, who is of Guyanese descent. She has two
younger brothers, Rorrey and Rajad Fenty.
Rihanna went to Charles F. Broome Memorial School, a primary school
in Barbados, and then on to the Combermere School, where she formed
a musical trio with two of her classmates. In 2004, she won the Miss
Combermere Beauty Pageant and performed in the Colours of Combermere
School Show.
In 2003, at the age of 15, Rihanna received her big break when one
of her friends introduced her to music producer Evan Rogers, who was
vacationing in Barbados with his wife. Rogers, along with his
partner, Carl Sturken, helped Rihanna record material in the U.S.
which was sent to various recording companies. One copy of Rihanna's
work was sent to Jay-Z, who eventually signed her to Def Jam
Recordings.
Rihanna cites Brandy, Beyoncé Knowles, Whitney Houston, Mariah
Carey, Bob Marley, Madonna and her Caribbean background as major
musical influences. Rihanna also stated in a recent interview that
former Island Def Jam record label artist Fefe Dobson was someone
whom she admired and looked up to, having a fellow artist writing,
singing, and performing the music she truly loves
Charity work
Rihanna created her Believe Foundation in 2006 to help terminally
ill children. Rihanna has performed a number of concerts to raise
funds for both charities and the Foundation. After her performances,
she met children from the local charities, signing autographs and
posing for pictures with her young fans. She explains her reasons
for starting the Foundation, "When I was young and I would watch
television and I would see all the children suffering, I always
said: when I grow up, I want to help."
From taking time out for little acts of kindness, such as signing a
games console for an auction benefiting Mission Australia, her
commitment to helping children has extended to becoming a 2008
Cartier LOVECHARITY Bracelet Ambassador, performing at Madonna’s
Raising Malawi fundraiser, and even using her fame to help a mother
of two find a bone marrow donor.
