DUA LIPA: MORE THAN JUST A LONDON GIRL If you were lucky enough to catch Dua Lipa at the recent Wireless Festival or during her performance at this year’s Glastonbury festival, you would have seen for yourself what an incredible talent she is. However, there is much more to this young artist than just her amazing voice and London roots. Despite her youth, Dua Lipa has already achieved a great deal and is definitely someone to watch out for in the future.
Dua Lipa’s real name is not a stage name, but her actual name given to her by her Albanian parents. Her name, “Dua,” translates to “love” in Albanian, which reveals her cultural roots. Dua’s parents were originally from Kosovo, a country that experienced violence and oppression in the 1990s. To escape this turmoil, the Lipa family sought refuge in the UK, where Dua was born in London. However, when Dua was eleven, her family returned to Kosovo after it became independent. Unfortunately, Dua found it difficult to pursue her dreams in Kosovo and decided to move back to London by herself at the young age of fifteen. Balancing school, household responsibilities, and her passion for music was challenging, but Dua persevered and continued to work hard towards her goals.
The singer known for her dark pop music is making waves in the industry. With the same management team as Lana Del Rey, her singles “Be The One” and “Hotter Than Hell” are climbing the charts. But it’s not just her sound that’s catching people’s attention. Dua Lipa also has a unique and edgy sense of fashion that’s been described as both sassy and interesting. In fact, she’s even been referred to as an it-girl, which explains why she’s becoming quite the fixture in the fashion world. Earlier this year, she collaborated with Stella McCartney on a project called “One City, One Girl”.
Dua has snagged herself a catch in the form of Isaac Carew – a stunning model who also happens to be a talented chef. It’s rare to find guys who can whip up a delicious meal, so Isaac is definitely a keeper. He’s worked for big names like Hermรจs and Moschino, and has recently launched his own food venture called The Dirty Dishes, where he creates easy yet comforting dishes. I can’t help but wonder if Dua, also known as Miss Beautifully Legged, indulges in his “dirty chocolate cake” quite often.
