Rhianna is not the name I was born with. It's just who I need to be. I have been running since I was just a girl. My abusive, alcoholic father is never far behind. He knows that I will be a star someday -- and when I make it, it's "my job to take care of him."

This time, though, I think I've lost him. Chicago is a city to disappear in -- in more ways than one -- and so far, I've managed to do that. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to see that the money my grandmother left for me won't last forever, and a year has gone by since the last time I worked. I'm off to explore the night-life of Chicago. Every bar needs an entertainer -- and that's what I am... In more ways than one.
