Rihanna  is actually an island girl that hails all the way from Barbados. 

Rihanna is one of the most successful artists of all time, and I think it often goes unrecognized that she does originate from the USA. Rihanna has proven that her talents go way beyond just music. She has become a businesswoman, entrepreneur, and ambassador. Rihanna is the perfect example of an international artist.]]> 2018-10-28 23:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/slater1102/zsu31lw5muzo/wish/297824303 slater1102 https://padlet.com/slater1102/zsu31lw5muzo/wish/297825106 Rihanna is a music chameleon... there isn't a genre she hasn't touched. Rihanna is influenced by her native island roots and is responsible for bringing island music to the mainstream. 

She is constantly on the charts, whether it be with a dance-floor anthem, a pop ballad, or a hip-hop feature.

She has worked with legends like Paul McCartney, Britney Spears, Kanye West, Eminem, Shakira, and her signee Jay-Z.]]> 2018-10-28 23:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/slater1102/zsu31lw5muzo/wish/297825106 slater1102 https://padlet.com/slater1102/zsu31lw5muzo/wish/297826255 Rihanna was born in Barbados, where she grew up in a rough household due to her father's addictions. She was originally part of a trio, but when they were discovered by Evan Rogers, she was a clear star.
