Rita Ora is a well-known British singer, songwriter, actress, and social media personality. She was born in 1990 to a family of Albanian origin. Her mother is a doctor and her father owns a pub, and Rita grew up alongside her sister Elena and her brother Don. When she was just one year old, the family moved to London, where she spent her childhood in the Kensington district. She attended local schools, took acting courses, and studied choreography and singing, building the foundation for her future artistic career.

Her first musical recording appeared in 2007, when she collaborated with Craig David on the songs Awkward and Where Is Your Love. Two years later, she signed a contract with Jay-Z’s record label in the United States. Her first chart-topping single, Hot Right Now, was released in late 2011 and was met with critical acclaim, followed by another hit, How We Do (Party). Her debut solo album, R.I.P., brought her MTV Award nominations, and her second album, Digital Spy, gained even greater popularity.

Beyond music, Rita Ora has shown a strong interest in fashion and modeling. She designs her own clothing lines and often collaborates with Adidas as a model for its apparel and footwear. She also participates in various television and film projects. Rita is very active on social media, boasting over 4.2 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 16.2 million followers on Instagram (as of late 2025). She is married to filmmaker Taika Waititi.
