Move over Rihanna, there’s a new kid on the block!

Rita Ora

Rita Ora’s latest chart-topper “R.I.P”, featuring British rapper Tinie Tempah, is not the first we’ve heard of this 21-year-old pop sensation – and it won’t be the last. Born in Kosovo and raised in West London, the ballsy blonde has been singing almost all her life – making her debut in Craig Davids’ 2007 track ‘Awkward’. By 2009, at the age of 18, Ora was singing in bars in and around London. That same year she caught Jay-Z’s attention and was flown to the Big Apple to meet with the music industry heavyweight and sign with his Roc Nation label – and get Beyoncé Knowles as her mentor.

Her career has soared since then and throughout 2011 the young pop singer (and actress) released viral videos tracking the process of recording her debut album, which features big industry names like will.i.am, Drake, The Dream and Kanye West. Her first single with the UK’s DJ Fresh, drum and bass fuelled “Hot Right Now”, reached No 1 on the UK Singles Chart when it was released in February this year.

Ora’s style is daring and eye-catching to say the least. Bleached hair, red lips and dark brows – homage to her fashion inspirations Gwen Stefani, Dauphine Guinnes and Beyoncé.
