Robyn Rihanna Fenty (born February 20, 1988), principally known by the stage name Rihanna, is a Barbadian singer with musical influences from pop, reggae, dancehall, and soca.

Early years
Rihanna was born on the Caribbean island nation of Barbados as the first of three children to Ronald Fenty, a Barbadian father, who is of Irish descent, and Monica Fenty, a Guyanese mother. She pursued her primary education at Charles F. Broome Memorial School and her secondary education at one of Barbados' grammar schools, the prestigious Combermere School, where she formed a musical trio with two of her classmates. She won the Miss Combermere Pageant in 2004; her talent was singing. In November 2004, she performed at the Colours of Combermere School show, singing Mariah Carey's "Hero".
Rihanna received her big break at the age of fifteen when one of her friends introduced her to music producer Evan Rogers while he was vacationing in Barbados with his Barbadian wife Jackie. Rogers, along with his partner Carl Sturken, helped Rihanna record Demo (music)demo material in the United States that was sent to various recording companies including Def Jam RecordsDef Jam, where Rihanna auditioned for CEO Jay-Z and was signed on the spot at the age of sixteen.

Music career
Rihanna's debut album Music of the Sun, which she co-wrote, was released in August 2005, led by the single "Pon de Replay", which peaked at number two on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. The second single, "If It's Lovin' That You Want", was less successful than its predecessor but reached the top twenty in several countries. The album itself peaked within the top ten in Canada, and the U.S., and within the top forty in the UK. It has received platinum certifications in several countries and a Gold certification in the U.S. To further promote the album, Rihanna toured with Gwen Stefani. The album itself sold just under 500,000 copies in the US and 2 million worldwide.
In 2006, Rihanna participated in several endorsement deals, including Nike and J.C. Penney. She released her second album, A Girl Like Me, in April 2006 less than eight months after the release of her debut album. The album debuted at number five in the U.S. and number six in the UK. The lead single, "SOS", was used in her endorsement deal with Nike. The song became Rihanna's first number one on the Hot 100 chart; it also debuted at number one on the Hot Digital Songs chart where it became the second biggest first week digital single ever. "SOS" peaked at number one in Australia and number two in the UK. The second single, a slow ballad which addresses the feelings of guilt a girl faces as she cheats on her boyfriend titled "Unfaithful", became her third top ten hit in the U.S and UK. The third single "We Ride" has not been as successful as her previous releases. Rihanna's fourth single from the album will be "Break It Off" featuring Sean Paul.
Rihanna is rumored to be working on a Christmas album for release later this year.
Rihanna made her acting debut in a cameo role in Bring It On: All or Nothing, which was released on August 8, 2006. She also appeared on an episode of American soap opera All My Children.
Rihanna is also a close friend of R&B singer Cassie, who was set to appear in Rihanna's "We Ride" video, but conflict in schedules prevented it from happening.

Rihanna - Unfaithful Lyrics

Story of my life
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
Cause it seems that wrong
Really loves my company

He's more than a man
And this is more than love
The reason that the sky is blue
But clouds are rolling in
Because I'm gone again
And to him I just can't be true

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer

I feel it in the air
As I'm doing my hair
Preparing for another date
A kiss upon my cheek
As he reluctantly
Asks if I'm gonna be out late
I say I won't be long
Just hanging with the girls
A lie I didn't have to tell
Because we both know
Where I'm about to go
And we know it very well

Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer

Our love, his trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore
Uh
Anymore (anymore)

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
And everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
And I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer (a murderer)

No no no no

Yeah yeah yeah
