Robyn Rihanna Fenty, known mononymously as Rihanna, is a Barbadian singer, actress, fashion designer, and businesswoman who has become a global pop icon since her musical debut in 2005. Born on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, Barbados, Rihanna was discovered by American record producer Evan Rogers, who invited her to the United States to record demo tapes. After signing with Def Jam in 2005, she quickly rose to fame with the release of her debut album "Music of the Sun" followed by "A Girl Like Me" in 2006. Her third album, "Good Girl Gone Bad" (2007), propelled her to superstardom with hits like "Umbrella" and established her as a sex symbol and a fixture in the entertainment industry.

A trendsetter and a trailblazer, Rihanna has reinvented her style and sound repeatedly throughout her career while amassing a series of commercially successful and critically acclaimed records. Her ventures into various genres, from pop and R&B to dance and reggae, showcase her versatility as an artist. Aside from her musical achievements, which include nine Grammy Awards, Rihanna is also known for her humanitarian efforts, her beauty brand Fenty Beauty, and her fashion collaborations. After taking a hiatus from music to focus on entrepreneurship and acting, Rihanna made a high-profile return to the music scene with "Lift Me Up," a poignant tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman from the soundtrack of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," marking her deepening legacy as both a trendsetting musician and a multifaceted entertainment powerhouse.
