Rita Ora is inscribed as the 23rd Global Music Royalty in November 2019.

She is chosen for achieving four top 10 results and one Bronze Medal in six participations. She is an international star who was very close to representing UK at the Eurovision Song Contest but was refused at the very last minute. This did not stop her from becoming the international star, she is today. Originally from Kosovo she has achieved recognition as an international pop star through her collaborations in the UK music scene.

Presentation

Rita Ora is a British singer, songwriter, and actress known for her powerful vocals, dynamic performances, and distinctive style. Born on November 26, 1990, in Pristina, Kosovo, to Albanian parents, Rita moved to London with her family when she was a child. Growing up in the vibrant and diverse cultural landscape of London, Rita developed a passion for music and performance from a young age.

Rita first gained significant recognition in 2012 with her debut single "Hot Right Now," a collaboration with DJ Fresh, which topped the UK Singles Chart. This success was followed by her debut studio album, "Ora," which included hit singles like "R.I.P." and "How We Do (Party)." The album's success established Rita as a rising star in the UK music scene and showcased her ability to blend pop, R&B, and dance music.

Her early success was marked by her distinctive voice, which carries both power and versatility, allowing her to experiment with different genres. Rita quickly became known not only for her music but also for her bold fashion sense and charismatic public persona, making her a prominent figure in both the music and fashion industries.

Over the years, Rita has continued to release chart-topping hits, including songs like "I Will Never Let You Down," "Poison," and "Anywhere." Her music often explores themes of love, empowerment, and self-expression, resonating with a wide audience. In addition to her music career, Rita has ventured into acting, appearing in films such as "Fifty Shades of Grey" and its sequels, as well as serving as a judge on various talent shows, including "The X Factor" and "The Voice UK."

Rita's career has not been without challenges, including legal battles with her former record label, which delayed the release of her second studio album. Despite these setbacks, she has remained resilient, using her experiences to fuel her creativity and drive.

In 2018, Rita released her long-awaited second album, "Phoenix," which included the successful singles "Let You Love Me" and "Your Song." The album was well-received, further cementing her place in the music industry and showcasing her growth as an artist.

Beyond her artistic endeavors, Rita is known for her philanthropic efforts and advocacy work. She has supported numerous charitable causes, including those focused on education, children's rights, and disaster relief, using her platform to make a positive impact.

Rita Ora's journey from a young girl in Kosovo to an international pop star is a testament to her talent, determination, and ability to connect with audiences worldwide. Her music, characterized by its catchy hooks and empowering lyrics, continues to inspire fans around the globe. As she continues to evolve and expand her artistic horizons, Rita remains a formidable and influential presence in the entertainment industry.
