Rita Sahatçiu Ora (Albanian: [ˈɾita sahatˈtʃiu ˈɔɾa]; born Rita Sahatçiu; 26 November 1990) is a British singer, songwriter, television personality, and actress. Born in Pristina, modern-day Kosovo, she rose to prominence in February 2012 when she featured on DJ Fresh's single, "Hot Right Now", which reached number one in the UK. Her debut studio album, Ora (2012), debuted at number one in the UK and contained the UK number-one singles, "R.I.P." and "How We Do (Party)". She had the most number-one songs on the UK Singles Chart in 2012, with three singles reaching number-one.[4]
In 2014, Ora featured on Iggy Azalea's single, "Black Widow", which became her first top-three hit on the US Billboard Hot 100. The following year, she was named an Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo. Her second studio album, Phoenix (2018), spawned the hit singles "Your Song", "Anywhere" and "Let You Love Me". The latter made Ora the first British female solo artist to have thirteen top ten songs in the United Kingdom.[5] Her third studio album, You & I (2023), debuted at number six in the UK.
Ora has also served as a judge on television talent shows, including The X Factor (2015), The Masked Singer UK (2020–present) and The Masked Singer US (2024), as well as a coach on The Voice UK (2015) and The Voice Australia (2021–2023). As an actress, she played Mia Grey in the Fifty Shades film series (2015, 2017, 2018).
