Dua Lipa was determined to break into the music industry

Dua Lipa was “really adamant” about getting into the music industry as a teenager.

As a child, the levitating singer moved between Kosovo, her parents’ homeland, and the United Kingdom, finally settling in London at the age of 15 to complete her studies and then pursue a career in music.

The 27-year-old spoke candidly about how her determination and perseverance has led her to success.

“I was quite determined,” Dua said, reporting BBC News. “I didn’t feel like I had the same opportunities in music as in London. I was driven. My father says I find it very difficult to say no!”

Dua continued, “I was really persistent. I’ve just started writing a lot and I’ve been working with a producer. I was 17. I was offered a publishing deal but[producer]Felix told me to go to a lawyer who said, “Don’t sign that contract!” They then helped me get into the studio.”

Elsewhere in the Live Talk, the Grammy winner also reflected on the “duality” of her heritage.

“There was always the idea of ​​being from two places at once,” she explained. “I understood the duality of my heritage from a young age. People always asked where my name came from.

“I was really proud of it, but when I was younger I wish my name was, say, Hannah — something ‘normal’ and English.”

Recently, Dua Lipa won the dismissal of the copyright lawsuit against “Levitating.” Pop star Dua Lipa and music label Warner Records on Monday convinced a federal court in Los Angeles to dismiss a lawsuit brought by a Florida reggae group that accused Lipa’s hit song “Levitating” of copying one of their songs.
Artikal Sound System has not argued that the writers of “Levitating” ever had access to the group’s 2017 song “Live Your Life.”

Sykes gave the group an opportunity to file a new complaint. She also denied the band’s request to move their case to New York to deal with another infringement lawsuit brought by songwriters Sandy Linzer and L. Russell Brown over alleged similarities between “Levitating” and their disco songs “Wiggle and Giggle All Night.” ‘ and ‘Don’ negotiated to be Diablo.’
