In the constellation of global music, the radiance of Dua Lipa, an Albanian sensation, glows steadily brighter with each passing hit song.
Recently on “The Graham Norton Show,” the popular singer peeled back layers of her glamorous image, revealing the sacrifices she willingly made to carve a path in the music world.
After making several transitions between Kosovo and the United Kingdom owing to the unpredictable situation in the Balkans, the Lipa family finally returned to their ancestral homeland. However, the story took a sharp turn when a 15-year-old Dua resolved to chase her passion for singing back in London, hungry for the wider recognition that eluded her in Kosovo.
In Dua’s own words, “At just 15, I left Kosovo for London, not out of whim but out of a deep-set desire to explore the vast opportunities in music London held. It was an exciting yet challenging phase. I am incredibly blessed to have the unwavering trust and support of my family, which guided me through the crazy maze of my dreams.” Dua Lipa indeed underscores that behind every successful person, there are undying dreams and often sacrifices.
