Artist profile and research

This lesson i am looking at researching an artist and their profile. I have decided to research Rihanna as she is the artist to our chosen song and also fits into our genre.

Rihanna is a 23 year old singer, songwriter and producer born on february 20th 1988. She was signed to Def Jam Recordings after audiotioning for then label head, Jay Z. She was born in Saint Michael, Barbados and moved to the United States at the age of 16 to persue her recording career under the guidance of record producer Evan Rogers. Her music falls into the genre of RnB, Hip Hop, Reggae, Pop and Dance. She has created five albums throughout her six active years in the music indsutry , with her sixth album called "talk that talk" due to be released In November 21st 2011. After looking at a range of her music vdeos, from really old ones to more recent videos, I have realized that her type of clothing and costumes she wears within her vidoes has stayed the same. She tends to wear very revealing clothing, showing a lot of skin which normally consists of short dresses.
