With a couple of top hits under her belt, Rihanna is now considered as an international pop star. She was able to showcase her talent with her debut hit, "Pon de Replay" in the summer of 2005. Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, Rihanna exhibited a star quality early on, winning several beauty and talent contests. Because she was living in Barbados, however, she never thought that she could actually become a star. When Evan Rogers, a New York producer vacationed in Barbados, he met Rihanna and offered her an opportunity to record.
