Rihanna broke into the recording industry in 2005 with the release of her debut album Music of the Sun, which features the number 2 hit single 'Pon de Replay'. Rihanna's demo made its way to Def Jam, which invited her to audition for the label's then-president, Jay-Z, who quickly signed her. It took a year to record the demos, because she was going to school and would only record during summer and Christmas school breaks. Carl Sturken helped Rihanna record a four-song demo, which included the ballad 'The Last Time,' a cover of Whitney HoustonвЂ™s hit 'For the Love of You' and what would become her first hit, 'Pon de Replay' to send to various recording companies. Then, shortly after turning 16, she relocated in the United States and moved in with Rogers and his wife. Over the next year, Rihanna and her mom shuttled back and forth to Rogers home in Stamford, Connecticut. The group auditioned for Rogers, who said that 'the minute Rihanna walked into the room, it was like the other two girls didn't exist.' While auditioning for Rogers, Rihanna sang Destiny's Child's cover of 'Emotion'. In 2003, friends introduced Rihanna and her two bandmates to record producer Evan Rogers, who was vacationing in Barbados with his wife. She was an army cadet in a sub-military programme that trained with the military of Barbados and Shontelle was her drill sergeant.ДЄt the age of 15, she formed a girl group with two of her classmates. In 2004 she won the Miss Combermere Beauty Pageant. Broome Memorial School, a primary school in Barbados, and then the Combermere School, where she formed a musical trio with two of her classmates at the age of fifteen.
