How did she get to where she is?
When Rihanna was fifteen years old her and two of her classmates started a girl group. They landed an audition with Evan Rogers, whom was in the Barbados at the time. He fell in love with Rihanna and a year later she moved in with Rogers and his wife in Connecticut to start recording a demo album. In January of 2005 Even Rogers got Rihanna an audition with Def Jam Records with Jay Z (president of DJR). Jay Z fell in love with Rihanna just as Rogers did, and eight months later Rihanna released her first single "Pon de Replay". Pon de Relay was rated number 2 on the Billboard singles chart and she was announced as the next big upcoming pop star.
