Rihanna: biography, career and personal life

Robin Rianna Fenti was born on February 20, 1988 in Barbados County in the family of a warehouse worker Ronald and accountant Monica. The childhood of the future star was overshadowed by the cocaine dependence of the father and the strained relations of the parents. Their marriage broke up when Rihanna was 14. To distract from the problems of a shy child helped singing. In the beginning, Robin Rihanna sang for her friends and acquaintances. But then she took part in the talent contest with Mariah Carey's song "Hero" and confidently won it.

Carier start

In 2003, Rihanna, whose biography is constantly discussed by fans, was presented to Evan Rogers, who was a well-known music producer. Together with his colleague Karl Starken, he made demos for the young singer and helped distribute them to various record companies. Fame came to Rihanna in 2005, thanks to the song "Pon de Replay" from her debut album. In the same year appeared the second disc of the singer. A real breakthrough in the career was the acquaintance with Jay-Z. He appreciated the strong voice of the 17-year-old beauty and concluded a multimillion-dollar contract with her. The third disc was released only in 2007 and, like the first two, did not disappoint the fans. At the end of 2009 came "Rated R" - the fourth album of the singer. Three singles from it entered the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. Over the fifth album, released at the end of next year, there were such celebrities as Taio Cruz, Ne-Yo, David Gett, Sean Garrett and Alex da Kid.

Roles in the cinema

Rihanna, whose biography is not ideal, has repeatedly appeared in films. The actor's debut took place in 2000 in the film "The Black Hole". The future singer was lucky enough to work with such eminent actors as Vin Diesel, Cole Hauser and Rada Mitchell. In 2006 she played herself in the comedy "Bring It On". In 2007, the audience could see the singer in the TV series "Las Vegas" and the Graham Norton show . But really her acting talent was revealed in 2012 in the blockbuster "Sea Battle", which can boast of good fees.

Advertising contracts

It's no secret that the stars of the scene and screen earn on advertising much more than on the main job. Rihanna, whose biography is in many magazines, is no exception. In 2011, one of the largest cosmetic brands invited the singer to participate in an advertising campaign in honor of the company's centenary. Her images appeared in many glossy publications, and posters adorned the streets of cities. With the help of the Barbados celebrity, the company hopes to attract many new consumers of personal care products. In addition to the fee, Rihanna received financial support for her world tour. In the photo session, she appeared in a non-standard role: topless and without make-up, to which her fans are so used. In addition, the singer participated in advertising Renault, and in 2011 launched a line of perfume under its own brand.

Personal life

At the moment, Rihanna, whose biography was covered by many media, is lonely. Previously, the singer had a short affair with the actor Shaiya Lababom. Then there was a series of fleeting passions. Now Rihanna is included in the rating of the most enviable brides of the planet. It is known that the singer feels sympathy for the famous actor Colin Farrell. According to him, as soon as possible, he will definitely meet with her.
