This pop-superstar built her career from the ground up, churning out catchy original songs and working her hardest. Untethered and determined to reach the top, Dua Lipa takes care to create material that is meaningful and relatable. With contempora­ry synth-pop beats, stylised rhythms, and honest- toa-fault lyrics, she conveys a message that women should come together, be empowered, and celebrate amidst life’s trials and tribulatio­ns. Her breakout hits “Blow Your Mind,” “Be the One,” “Hotter Than Hell,” “New Rules,” and “IDGAF” soon became anthems for every woman recovering and moving on from past relationsh­ips.

Last January, she scored a coup at the British Awards as the first female to be nominated five times as well as to win two of them: the Female Solo Artist and the Breakthrou­gh Act. To her fans, the 22-year-old says, “I want to thank every single female that has been on this stage before me and has given girls like me a place to be inspired by, and someone to look up to, and allow us to dream. Here’s to more women on these stages and taking over the world.” Her latest collaborat­ion with Calvin Harris “One Kiss” stayed at number one for seven consecutiv­e weeks. Don’t miss her concert on 14 September at the MOA Arena, Pasay City.
