Rihanna, pop’s Caribbean Queen talks to Sunday Life about her phenomenal career
Rihanna’s story is a real-life fairytale. One of three children she formed a musical trio with two of her secondary school classmates and in 2004 won a local Barbados beauty pageant, during which she performed the Mariah Carey song Hero.
“I used to practise in the shower and the neighbours were always complaining,” she laughs.
At the age of 15, Rihanna was introduced to music producer Evan Rogers who was holidaying in Barbados. He took her to New York to record some material, which caught the attention of Jay-Z, who signed her up to his Def-Jam record label.
“Yes, I’m very lucky,” admits Rihanna. “It’s definitely a fairytale and I wake up every day so thankful. It’s proof that no matter who or where you are, if you work very hard and believe in your dreams they can come true.
“I’ve always dreamed of becoming a singer and entertainer, and now I’m fulfilling my dream.”
