Her Childhood and Education

Dua Lipa was born on August 22, 1995, in London. Her parents, ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, fled Pristina for London to escape the brutal Yugoslav civil war. Her father, Dukagjin Lipa, played a significant role in the subsequent formation of Dua as a singer. He was a well-known rock musician in Pristina with a deep love for beautiful melodies and songs. He became the first guide of young Dua Lipa to the world of music. Together, they'd listen to hits by Bob Dylan, Sting, David Bowie, and other legendary artists.

The future singer's first name means love. Though Dua disliked her name as a child, she grew to embrace it and never adopted a stage name.

Notable alumni include acclaimed actors and singers: Adele Silva (Doctor Who), Alex Pettyfer (Thunderbolt), Amy Winehouse, Ella Purnell (Tarzan, Churchill), Keeley Hawes (Ashes to Ashes).

At 15, Dua Lipa left home and returned to London to pursue her musical dreams seriously. Initially, she worked as a waitress and model to afford rent on an apartment she shared with friends. She also worked at a nightclub, an experience she later described as terrifying. While she could have easily succeeded in modeling with her striking looks and 173 cm height, Dua had her sights set on a different stage.

Several key factors helped launch Dua Lipa's singing career. This included meeting Marlon Roudette, the musician behind the hit "New Age," who encouraged her to record her songs and share them on streaming platforms. Meanwhile, her YouTube channel continued to gain momentum.

Her Career

In 2015, 19-year-old Dua Lipa signed a contract with Warner Music Group. This event marked the beginning of her successful musical career. That same year, her first two singles (New Love and Be the One) were released and both cracked the top ten on European charts.

By this point, Dua Lipa's musical style was already taking shape. She defines it as dark pop. In her music, electronic beats and synthesizers are actively used, and the arrangement often includes electric guitars, drums, and pianos. Music critics and fans consistently praise the passion, expression, and courage that shine through in every Dua song.

Though her debut studio album Dua Lipa didn't drop until June 2, 2017, the British singer was already making waves across Europe, North America, and Australia. The singles Last Dance (February 18, 2016) and Hotter than Hell (May 6, 2016) made her famous in the UK, while North American audiences fell for Blow Your Mind (August 26, 2016).

Worth noting: in 2018, Dua Lipa swept the prestigious Brit Awards, taking home both British Breakthrough Act and British Female Solo Artist.

Charity

An important part of Dua's story is her deep connection to her native Kosovo and its struggles. Having experienced the refugee and migrant journey firsthand, she and her father founded the charitable Sunny Hill Foundation. The organization's goal is to help people in need - both refugees and residents of Pristina and other cities in Kosovo.

Personal Life of Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa is unmarried. She does not have children. The singer keeps her personal relationships extremely private and rarely discusses her dating life. This privacy naturally fuels endless rumors, gossip, and tabloid speculation around Dua's love life.

Fans speculate that she cycles through relationships frequently. Beyond confirmed relationships with model Isaac Carew and Lany musician Paul Klein, Dua has been linked to Coldplay's Chris Martin and DJ Calvin Harris.

Since 2019, Dua Lipa was dating Anwar Hadid, the brother of Bella and Gigi Hadid. However, in December 2021, they broke up.
Following the Champions League final in Kiev, tabloids went wild with reports of a brief, intense fling between Dua Lipa and Real Madrid star Marco Asensio. However, she quickly shut down these rumors on her social media accounts.

The song reached the top positions in the UK and on the Billboard Hot 100. In March 2020, the second album Future Nostalgia was released.

The following April, "Future Nostalgia" peaked at number four on the Billboard 200. She later released a music video for the album track "Break My Heart".

Dua Lipa had planned "A Future Nostalgia Tour" to support the new record. Originally scheduled for spring 2020, the tour was pushed back to January 2021 due to the pandemic. The tour took her to England, Germany, Scotland, and beyond.

In early 2021, she released "We're Good" and collaborated with rapper Pop Smoke on "Demeanor". That summer, she teamed up with Elton John for "Cold Heart (Pnau remix)", which hit number one on the UK charts.
