Early Life
Dua Lipa was born on August 22, 1995, in London, England, to Albanian parents, Dukagjin and Anesa Lipa, who had fled Kosovo in 1992 amid regional conflict in the Balkans.
She is the eldest of three children, with a younger sister, Rina, and a younger brother, Gjin. When Lipa was eleven, her family returned to live in Kosovo, but she moved back to London on her own at age fifteen to pursue a career in music.
Education
Upon returning to London as a teenager, Lipa attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School, a performing arts institution, while beginning to pursue music professionally.
Career
While still a teenager, Lipa supported herself by waitressing and modeling while posting original songs and cover versions to YouTube and SoundCloud.
Her music career gained momentum in Europe with singles released in 2015, including “New Love” and “Be the One.” She released her self-titled debut studio album in 2017, led by the UK number-one single “New Rules,” which earned her the Brit Awards for Best British Female Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act.
Her second studio album, Future Nostalgia, released in March 2020, became a critical and commercial breakthrough, spawning hit singles including “Don’t Start Now,” “Physical,” “Break My Heart,” and “Levitating.” “Levitating” set a record by spending more than 60 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the chart’s year-end ranking for 2021; it was later certified diamond in the United States.
At the 2021 Grammy Awards, Lipa won Best Pop Vocal Album for Future Nostalgia, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best New Artist. In 2022, she launched Service95, a media platform encompassing a website, weekly newsletter, podcast, and book club.
She made her film acting debut in 2023, playing Mermaid Barbie in Barbie, which grossed more than $1.4 billion worldwide, and contributed the single “Dance the Night” to its soundtrack, earning two further Grammy nominations. She also appeared in the 2024 spy film Argylle.
Her third studio album, Radical Optimism, produced by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, was released in May 2024 and topped the UK Albums Chart, preceded by top-ten UK singles “Houdini,” “Training Season,” and “Illusion”; “Houdini” won Top Dance/Electronic Song at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards after topping the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for 17 weeks.
In December 2024, she released the live album Live from the Royal Albert Hall, which featured a duet with Elton John, followed by a second live release, Live from Mexico, in May 2026. In 2025, she launched a skincare brand, DUA, developed in collaboration with Augustinus Bader.
