Her earliest influence was Beyonce and Destiny's Child but she said: "It was no good for me to be a carbon copy of Beyonce."

Shortly after her phone rang again. Columbia Records called about the song and Beyonce, who was prepping her sophomore solo disc, wanted it for herself -- and Jay-Z would put a verse on it.
“Once again I’m like ‘really,’ ” she says laughing. “I didn’t believe it until I was walking in the door to meet her, and that’s when I started getting nervous. I came in the room and from the minute we shook hands it was like we were distant cousins. Like we had known each other in a past life or something because we clicked. I’ve never clicked with an artist the way we did. Same with Rihanna, which was more like a big sister, little sister [relationship]. With Beyonce we were closer in age. We just had a ball and before I knew it three weeks had gone by and the album was done.”
The track, “Deja Vu,” was picked as the first single, and scored Riddick another No. 1 single. Of the 10 tracks on the original album released in 2006, Riddick had her hand in writing half, including singles “Upgrade U” and “Get Me Bodied,” rightfully earning her the nickname of “Golden Girl.”
“It was crazy to me when we were done. That was a whirlwind,” Riddick says. “Every day we would be talking for hours -- that’s how those songs came about. It was fun, that’s how you should make an album. It amazes me how a regular girl from Baltimore from the inner city has the same life experiences as a girl from Houston, Texas. You forget that she’s Beyonce until a L’Oreal commercial comes on.”

We understand that the Grammy committee's not going out and getting demos from the clubs — that it might take awhile for us to get on their radar. It was a fun night and interesting to sit by all these famous musicians, to be in the same row as Ringo Starr and Beyoncé. We felt like the odd band out, but at the same time, it's an honor to be in their realm.
