Live your life - Rihanna

May be you’re thinking that only black male rappers dominate the hip hop music industry but this is not so. There are black beauties too! There are many of them who shake the hip hop world with their music with voices and looks! Here comes one of them and she is young, pretty, sexy and talented. She is Rihanna.

Robyn Rihanna Fenty (born February 20, 1988), better known as Rihanna is a Barbadian R&B recording artiste and model. Born in Saint Michael, Barbados, Rihanna moved to the United States at the age of 16 to pursue a recording career under the guidance of record producer Evan Rogers.

There are plenty of popular songs to her credit. ‘Umbrella’ (with Jay Z), ‘Live your life’ (with T.I), ‘Unfaithful’, ‘SOS’, ‘Shut up and drive’, ‘Run this town’, ‘Russian Roullette’ and ‘Hard’ are some of her memorable numbers. Not all singers have unique voices but Rihanna is one of the few singers who is an exception. Her songs, style and everything has gained popular recognition all over the world, especially among the youth.

Rihanna created her Believe Foundation in 2006 to help terminally ill children. Rihanna is also heavily involved in the marketing of her native country, Barbados. In September 2007, she became the official face of tourism for Barbados, being included in many of their advertisement campaigns. She holds the honorary title of Ambassador for Culture and Youth in Barbados.

She was also honoured by Prime Minister David Thompson, who presented her with several gifts at a national concert on February 20, 2008, in Barbados, called ‘Rihanna Day’. In February 2008, Rihanna thanked and honoured her country during the acceptance speech for her win of “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration” at the Grammy Awards.

There are many more young, talented and popular hip hop and R&B singers out there but it is very pathetic to see that some locals are still struggling with the old set of singers and their respective music when the Sri Lankan young generation has progressed to more current trends of music offered by young musicians such as Rihana, Beyonce, Ne-Yo,50 Cent and TI. However, we thank all English television and radio channels in Sri Lanka for letting the young Sri Lankan generation enjoy this type of music.
