Mini bio
How it started.
Born in London to Kosovar-Albanian parents, Dua spent part of her childhood in Pristina before returning to London at 15 to pursue music. She posted covers online, including songs by Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys, while finding her own voice. “New Love,” her debut single, arrived in 2015.
The breakthrough.
Her self-titled debut album came out in June 2017. That summer, “New Rules” became her first UK number one. The song and its video brought a wider audience to her debut.
Building her sound.
Future Nostalgia followed in 2020, bringing disco into her pop songwriting with songs including “Don’t Start Now” and “Levitating.” It won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. For 2024’s Radical Optimism, she worked with Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker, exploring a sound she described as psychedelic pop.
Beyond the records.
Dua also founded Service95, a culture platform with recommendations, stories and interviews. Its book club began in 2023, pairing her monthly reading choices with author conversations. In 2026, that interest in books led her to curate London Literature Festival and interview Zadie Smith, Mustafa and Patti Smith.
