songwriter. In 2012, Ora released her debut album, Ora which debuted at number one in the United Kingdom. It also spawned three number-one singles “Hot Right Now“, “How We Do (Party)” and “R.I.P.” which made Ora the artist with the most number-one singles on the UK Singles Chart in 2012. Ora has a mezzo-soprano vocal range.[2] Ora is nominated for three awards at the 2013 BRIT Awards, including the Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act.[3]
Buzz acts come and go, but the pertinent feeling amongst those that have heard the results of Rita Ora’s knockout first round in the recording studio as a bona fide solo star, accompanied by a blue chip roster of production hands, is that the effect she has locally is about to translate to the upper terrains of the global pop market. A composite of street-smarts of the metropolitan life she was schooled in and pure, urgent, otherworldly star quality, she makes for a brilliantly contradictory mix.
Early life and career start
Rita Ora was born in 1990 in Pristina, SFR Yugoslavia (today Kosovo[a]) to Kosovar-Albanian parents and moved to the United Kingdom when she was 1. She grew up around Portobello Road in West London,[4] and attended St Cuthbert with St Matthias CE Primary School in Earls Court, following which she graduated from Sylvia Young Theatre School and then St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College.

When speaking about the sound of the album and its concept, Ora said it “definitely has pop in it, but (…) you can hear influences of jazz in there, you can hear influences of Monica and Aaliyah, and then you can hear Gwen Stefani.”[21] She has also stated the album will be influenced by her father’s record collection which, in addition to reggae, also includes such artists as Eric Clapton and B.B. King.[22] Her first solo record, “R.I.P.” featuring Tinie Tempah, was released as her first UK single on 6 May 2012.[23] The video directed by Emil Nava was recorded in Hackney, East London, and released on 4 April 2012.[24] Produced by Chase & Status, the song debuted at the top of the UK Singles Chart, becoming her first solo UK number 1, and second overall.[25] In May, Ora became a guest judge on the ninth series of The X Factor in the UK, with the auditions filmed at the O2 Arena, London.[26]

I love everything about her.”[12] Ora has also named Beyoncé Knowles as a major influence and a mentor, in addition to talking about her admiration at being able to have one of her idols, Knowles, gave her feedback on her debut album.[20] Her other musical influences include Rihanna,[33] Aaliyah, India.Arie, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, Monica, Madonna, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Celine Dion, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Vybz Kartel and Sade.[12][34] Ora has mentioned her admiration for Rita Hayworth as an early inspiration for wanting to pursue an acting career.[35] For fashion inspirations, Ora also cites Gwen Stefani[36] as her most influential style icon.
