Dua Lipa Biography

Born in London to Albanian parents, Dua Lipa started by posting videos of covers on social media. Then, signing to Warner Bros., she made a breakthrough with the electro-infused dance single “New Love,” which helped propel her debut, a self-titled album dubbed “Dua Lipa,” to the top of the U.K. charts. The project was also ranked among the top 40 in the world at the time.

The singer started gaining attention for her club performances and live recordings a few years earlier. The self-titled E.P. of original material followed in 2014, as did a deal with Republic Records for U.S. distribution on Atlantic that year.

Her performance at SXSW in 2015 put her on the international music map and became one of the festival’s most talked-about shows that year. Dua Lipa, whose name means “Love” in Albanian, opened for Coldplay during their tour in 2016 and later began work on her full-length album in London with producer Jack Antonoff, whom she had worked with previously at his Bleachers studio under the moniker of Dua Lipa & Jack.
