Sometimes, sunny places tend to produce sunny people -- which was certainly the case with Rihanna. Like her native Barbados, she's warm, colorful and full of life, with just the right amount of spice.
why is she famous?
Rihanna brought a little Caribbean heat to the summer of 2005 with the smash hit "Pon de Replay." She kept the pressure on with her next single, "If It's Lovin' That You Want," from her debut album, Music of the Sun.

Rihanna's sudden and meteoric rise made American Idol hopefuls look like seasoned crooners who had spent a decade on the road before hitting the big time. A native of the island of Barbados, Rihanna lived an average life and barely even dreamed of show business before she was discovered in late 2003.

bio
Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born in the parish of St. Michael, Barbados, on February 18, 1988. Growing up, Rihanna led a relatively simple, average life on her island home. She attended Combermere, a kind of technical high school, and, despite having a natural singing talent, she didn't give much thought to performing -- aside from singing with her friends for fun.
Trivia: Which vacationing record producer discovered Rihanna?
