Dua Lipa

When I think of artists I love, like J. Cole, it's the storytelling that grabs me. I want to be honest with my music. ”

I'm heavily influenced by the Nineties - I love juxtaposing a slip dress with trainers and a vintage leather jacket. ”

I love Pink and Nelly Furtado - the honesty and truth in their lyrics. I also love Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper. ”

I was 11 and living in Kosovo. I knew I wanted to perform but didn't feel like I could do it there. So I moved back to London on my own at 15, carried on going to school, and started posting cover songs online. I had no idea how I was going to become a performer, but I felt like I had so many more opportunities being in London. ”

For me, my aim is to just be as good as possible. If people do look up to me, I have to set the best example I can. ”

I use a toothbrush on my lips as a lip scrub; occasionally, I use a toothbrush with some dark eye shadow on my eye brows if I want to fill them in. And if I want a really thick, textured look with mascara, I put one on my lashes, as well. ”

My first concert was Method Man and Redman because they came down to Kosovo. ”

I spend a lot of time in bed when I'm off. But if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll go to a gallery. ”

Every time you achieve something, you want to go after what's next. I'd like to see my own shows grow and someday be a headliner, fill up stadiums. ”

Social media can sometimes influence the charts, but I think that only great music makes it to the top. The good songs make it. ”
