Dua Lipa is an English and Albanian singer who started gaining popularity in her early twenties. The 27-year-old has won numerous awards for her songs like ‘New Rules’, ‘Be The One’, and ‘One Kiss’. However, before pursuing a career in music, Dua was a model. Born on 22 August 1995, she started taking singing lessons when she was young. Her father, Dukagjin Lipa, was a lead singer of a Kosovan rock band, Oda. He was the musical inspiration of his daughter. Dua grew up listening to the music of singers like Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and Sting.
When Dua Lipa was in primary school, her teacher told her that she could not sing. Little did she know she would be nominated for six Grammys together years later. She started out by uploading song covers on YouTube and SoundCloud when she was fifteen. Then she got a modeling offer from the fashion brand, TOPSHOP, which she accepted. That helped her to land her first professional singing break. Dua covered the song ‘Lost In Music’ for the British reality TV show’s advertisement.

Dua Lipa Net Worth
Dua Lipa has a net worth of $35 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. She ranks as one of the most trending singers in the industry along with Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Shawn Mendes. After her musical success, the singer became famous for her style and fashion. Dua first signed up with the label Tap Management which offered her a steady monthly salary to leave waiting tables and concentrate on music and recording. Soon in 2014, she was approached by Warner Bros. Records after she co-wrote the song ‘Hotter Than Hell‘.
It was a very favorable time for Dua as at the time, the label did not have a female lead singer and Dua was smart enough to grab the opportunity. With them, she worked rigorously, and the release of her second single, ‘Be the One‘ won her recognition in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. She had her first tour in 2016 in the United Kingdom and Europe.
