Dua Lipa was born in London after her parents escaped war-torn Kosovo. At 11, she moved back to Kosovo, later returning to the UK alone at 15 to chase her dream. “From a young age, I had the dream to be a pop star,” she shared, though she never imagined it could be real.
Determined and persistent, she started writing music and working with producers. A near-miss publishing deal taught her to trust her instincts. By 17, she was recording music that would soon make her a rising name in pop.
Her breakout led to global tours, awards, and hits topping charts. Yet, Dua never forgot her roots—working with UNICEF and speaking out about war’s impact. “I really felt that duality of being from two places at once,” she said.
By 2025, she’s a global superstar, fashion icon, and newly engaged to actor Callum Turner. Still touring, still evolving, Dua Lipa’s story proves how far courage, talent, and heart can take you.
