Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
DUA LIPA
With only a debut self-titled album under her belt, Dua's record is already multi-Platinum in several countries around the world, thanks to bangers like IDGAF, New Rules and collabs with heavyweights like Diplo and Mark Ronson (Silk City) like Electricity.
1. Dua Lipa isn't a stage name
Yep, Dua Lipa is the name she was born with (it's pronounced 'Doer Leaper'). She says she didn't love it when she was growing up, but later realised it saved her from finding a stage name!
2. Her first name means 'love' in Albanian
Dua is born to Albanian parents from Kosovo (though she was born in London), and returned to live there in 2008.
3. Her dad's a singer too
Dua’s father, Dukagjin Lipa, runs in the music industry too as a musician and founder of a festival called Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo. Judging by his Instagram feed, we reckon he's Dua's biggest fan.
4. Her choir teacher told her she couldn't sing
When Dua was 11, her choir teacher told her she couldn't sing as her voice was too low. If only they could see her now!
5. She's supported some huge acts on tour
If you're a Bruno Mars, Troye Sivan or Coldplay fan, you may have caught Dua on tour with them as a supporting act.
