There are just a few people who can say they have never heard of the global pop star with the unrelentingly edgy image; who else but Rihanna. Music came first a medium of escape from the troubles she experienced at home and then she ended up forming a girl group with two classmates when at age 15. This group scored an audition with music producer Evan Rodgers but he was especially awed by the beautiful and talented Robyn (her birth name) that the other two girls didn’t exist as far as he was concerned.
Within a year, the starlet left Barbados for America to move in with Rogers and his wife. In no time, she signed with Def Jam records and by August 2005 had released her first album, Music of the Sun. This debut album sold over a million copies worldwide and in this drive, she went on to lead an array of hit songs. By 2007, the cute teenage princess Robyn had evolved to a superstar and sex symbol with her third album Good Girl Gone Bad.
