Rihanna's Disturbia

Every once in a while a singer hits our radio airwaves that intrigues me with their very distinctive voice to wonder "who is she (or he)?". Well, about 2 years ago this happened to me when I first heard "Pon de Replay" and ever since then, I have fallen for the beautiful voice of Rihanna.
Rihanna was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988 in Saint Michael, Barbados to Ronald and Monica Fenty. She is the oldest of three children with two younger brothers, Rorrey and Rajad Fenty. She is a singer, model and fashion designer.

Rihanna is the second artist, and first female, from Barbados to have received a Grammy Award (the first being Jimmy Senya Haynes.

Rihanna is currently signed to the Def Jam Recordings label and has attained four Billboard Hot 100 number ones thus far with "SOS", "Umbrella", "Take a Bow", and most recently "Disturbia", tying her with Mariah Carey and Beyonce as the female solo artist with the most number ones this decade.
