Born in Saint Michael, and raised in Bridgetown, Barbados, when she signed with Def Jam Recordings, Rihanna moved to the US in 2005. Following the release of her first two studio albums, Music of the Sun (2005) and A Girl like Me (2006), both influenced by Caribbean music and peaked in the top ten of the US Billboard 200 chart, she has earned significant recognition.
