# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Robyn Rihanna Fenty signed with Def Jam in 2005 and broke through with Caribbean-tinged pop, scoring early hits with "Pon de Replay" and "SOS". Good Girl Gone Bad (2007) marked the pivot: sharper image, dance-pop sheen, and "Umbrella" at number one. Over the next decade she cycled through rock edges on Rated R, upbeat runs on Loud and Talk That Talk, then the synth-heavy Unapologetic and the eclectic Anti after moving to Roc Nation. By 2016 the singles slowed and the empire widened: she launched Fenty Beauty, took a fashion deal with LVMH, acted in Battleship and Ocean's 8, and accumulated nine Grammys. Barbados named her a National Hero in 2021, the same year Forbes confirmed what the math already showed — she'd crossed into ten figures, the first woman in music to do it.
