If I hadn't met Evan and Carl I might have just been dreaming forever.

When I purchase an album, I like an album where I don't have to skip any songs, That's the kind of album I tried to make. There's something on there for everyone, uptempos, midtempos, some ballads, some old-school reggae.

Beyonce just put the level of female entertainment all the way up there. She does acting, she has a beautiful voice and that's really the person I look up to... that type of entertainer.
Rihanna
It is one thing to record an album but it's a huge difference when people play it and listen to it and embrace it the way that I do. It has always been my dream to get my music out to the world and have people hear it.
Rihanna
Success for me isn't a destination it's a journey. Everybody's working to get to the top but where is the top? It's all about working harder and getting better and moving up and up.
Rihanna
There's nothing that I say "I have to make this decision". We all make our decisions together. I'm new to this industry and these are people who have experienced it and been here and seen it all.
Rihanna
I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.
Rihanna
People think, because we're young, we aren't complex, but that's not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.
Rihanna
I did one talent show at my high school, and I won it singing Mariah Carey's Hero.
Rihanna
I think people are always looking for something that's new, something fresh, something different, 'My music doesn't have a specific genre, it's a fusion of reggae, hip-hop, and R&B. People haven't heard a lot of that, and they seem to like it.
