Rihanna is 24!
Again, today in history, a star was born. Its the Umbrella star, Robyn Rihanna Fenty....
Rihanna was born in St. Michaels. in Barbados. Her childhood on the Caribbean island of Barbados was deeply affected
by her father’s addiction to crack cocaine and parent’s rocky marriage,
which ended when she was 14. The shy kid found an outlet through
singing. She lived the life of a normal island girl going to Combermere,
a top sixth form school, similar to grammar schools in the UK. Through
the years, particularly during her pre-teen and teenage years, she sang
to friends and family only for amusement purposes. Rihanna won a beauty
pageant and performed Mariah Carey’s “Hero” in a school talent show.

After forming a girl group with two classmates, Rihanna, 15,
auditioned for veteran producer Evan Rogers, who told Entertainment
Weekly:
The minute Rihanna walked into the room, it was like the other two girls
didn’t exist.” She eventually moves to Connecticut to live with Rogers
and his wife, while cutting a four-song demo. “When I left Barbados, I
didn’t look back,” Rihanna adds. “I wanted to do what I had to do, even
it meant moving to America.”
