Rita Ora

50 Shades of Ora

Rita Ora 


It's the name that's on everybody's tongue. After recently announcing her role in the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey Movie, the British R&B/Pop sensation has become a worldwide sensation. She's better known for her Platinum, #1 selling album 'ORA,' which debuted in August 2012. 




In December 2009, Ora flew out to NYC to sing Jay Z's "99 Problems" to the Roc Nation crew. Within 48 hours of the audition, the British teen was signed. "You can see the potential. When she enters a room it changes and that presence you can’t duplicate that, especially at a young age. It was just infectious to me, like ‘man she loves this’ she’s driven in that way."-Jay Z on Rita Ora

Her first UK hit "Hot Right Now" featuring DJ Fresh came out at #1. Her album ORA, a huge success, had four major singles: Shine Ya Light, How We Do (Party), R.I.P. feat. Tinie Tempah, and most recently Radioactive.

Her name has been in many headlines with a pervious relationship to Rob Kardashian and a current relationship with DJ Calvin Harris. 




She also has a close-knit relationship with model Cara Delevingne. They share the term "wifey" among one another, spamming everybody's instagram feed when they're together. They ended up making a remix/remake video of Ora's song Facemelt. 


 




Ora's also a big festival goer / performer. She performed some of the UK's biggest music festivals: Leeds, Glastonbury, Radio 1 Big Weekend, Oxygen, T in the Park, and more in a 2013 summer festival tour.
