Rita Sahatçiu Ora was born on November 26, 1990, in Pristina, Kosovo. Her family relocated to the United Kingdom when she was one year old, settling in West London where she attended St Cuthbert with St Matthias CE Primary School, Sylvia Young Theatre School, and St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College. Ora began singing at a young age, performing in local bars. In 2004, she had her first acting role in the British film “Spivs.” She auditioned for “Eurovision: Your Country Needs You” in 2009 but withdrew, not feeling prepared at the time. Her early musical efforts included collaborations with Craig David in 2007 and with Craig David and Tinchy Stryder in 2008. In 2009, she attracted the attention of Roc Nation, leading to a quiet signing and a cameo in Jay-Z’s “Young Forever” music video.
Ora’s career saw a significant breakthrough in 2012 when she was featured on DJ Fresh’s single “Hot Right Now,” which achieved number one status on the UK Singles Chart. Her debut album, “Ora,” released later that year, also topped the UK Albums Chart and included two more UK number-one singles, “R.I.P.” and “How We Do (Party).” In the subsequent years, Ora expanded her career into acting, playing Mia Grey in the “Fifty Shades” film series, starting with “Fifty Shades of Grey” in 2015. She also transitioned into television as a judge and coach, appearing on programs such as “The Voice UK” (2015) and “The X Factor” (2015). Despite a legal dispute with Roc Nation in 2015, which was settled in 2016, she continued to release music and pursue acting and television roles.
Her second studio album, “Phoenix,” was released in 2018, featuring hits like “Your Song,” “Anywhere,” and “Let You Love Me.” “Let You Love Me” notably made her the first British female solo artist to have thirteen top-ten songs in the UK. Beyond music and acting, Ora has served as a judge on “The Masked Singer UK” (2020–2024) and “The Voice Australia” (2021–2023), and later joined “The Masked Singer US” (2024–present). Her third studio album, “You & I,” debuted at number six in the UK in 2023. She has also engaged in various design collaborations and endorsements with major brands throughout her career.
