[edit] Biography

Prior to going solo, Rhianna worked as a backing singer for her elder brother's band, LSK (Leigh Stephen Kenny). Having graduated quickly to front of stage, demos were sent out and dutifully the A&R men wined and dined the rising star. There also seems to have been some role reversals going on as Leigh is now behind the scenes and appears on several of the writing credits here. With the creative family partnership still well and truly intact, Sony have taken it upon themselves to propel Ms Kenny into pop's twinkling limelight.
