Childhood and Early Life

Rita Ora was born in the city of Pristina, SFR Yugoslavia, on November 26, 1990. As of 2022, she is 32 years old, a naturalized British citizen, a Kosovar citizen, and a Catholic.

Her full name is Rita Sahatciu Ora, and her zodiac sign is Sagittarius. Vera, her mother, is a psychiatrist, and Besnik Sahatçiu, her father, is a pub owner who previously studied economics.

Elena and Don are her siblings’ names. Her family fled Kosovo for political reasons, as a result of the persecution of Albanians that began with the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

Education

Her education began in Notting Hill, West London, where she attended Sylvia Young Theatre School, a performing arts school. She went on to attend Access Creative College and St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College. Her additional academic credentials, however, are not available on the internet.

 Professional Career

Moving on to her career, she began performing at open mic nights around London, as well as occasionally in her father’s pub. She qualified for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in 2008.

She later dropped out after a few episodes because she didn’t feel prepared and didn’t think the challenge was for her.

Furthermore, her manager, Sarah Stennett, later told HitQuarters that competing in Eurovision would hurt rather than help her chances of making it as a solo artist.

Her management quickly contacted the American label Roc Nation and informed them about her. In December 2008, she became one of Roc Nation’s first signees, signing a recording and publishing deal.

In addition, she appeared in Jay Z’s “Young Forever” video in 2009. She recorded an album and intended to release it after signing, but her label advised her not to, so she began working on other material for her debut album.

Throughout 2011, she also posted covers and videos about her debut album on YouTube. DJ Fresh, who was looking for a deserving female vocalist for his song “Hot Right Now” at the time, became intrigued by the videos.

“Your Song,” her first solo single in nearly two years, was released on May 26, 2017, and peaked at number seven in the United Kingdom. On July 10, 2015, she was named Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo by then-President Atifete Jahjaga at the Kosovo Embassy in London.

On May 6, 2012, her famous song “R.I.P.” was released as the first UK single from her remarkable debut album. Chase & Status produced the song, which debuted at the top of the UK Singles Chart, becoming her first solo UK number one.
