Dua Lipa, the talented singer and actress known for hits like New Rules, Don’t Start Now, and One Kiss, has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Born on August 22, 1995, in London, she is the eldest of three children to parents Dukagjin Lipa and Anesa Rexha.
Dua Lipa’s connection to Kosovo is a special one, as her father is from the country’s capital city, Pristina. After Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, Dua’s family relocated to Pristina, where she spent her formative years. Despite this move, Dua returned to the UK to pursue her music career at the age of 15, attending the Sylvia Young Theatre School part-time.
In 2014, Dua Lipa signed her first record deal with Warner Bros. Records, paving the way for her successful music career. Fast forward to 2022, and Dua was named an Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo by President Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu. The singer expressed her gratitude for the accolade, emphasizing her commitment to representing her country on a global scale.
Dua Lipa’s father, Dukagjin, is also a successful businessman, known for founding the digital marketing company REPUBLIKA Communications Agency and co-founding the Sunny Hill Festival with his daughter. With a reported net worth of $35 million, Dua has not only conquered the music industry but has also made strides in acting, appearing in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie and the upcoming film Argylle.
In addition to her entertainment ventures, Dua Lipa runs an editorial platform called Service95, featuring a lifestyle newsletter, podcast, and book club. With her undeniable talent and dedication to her roots, Dua Lipa continues to inspire audiences worldwide with her music and advocacy for Kosovo.
