DUA LIPAI’ll bring you flowers in the pouring rain.
DUA LIPAI dated this guy who literally would never eat a single vegetable. I was like, ‘This is terrible. You eat like a five-year-old.’
DUA LIPAI started posting covers online and having this crazy determination about what I wanted to do and just went for it. I was like, ‘Okay, no one else can create my future for me, and no one can get what I want for me, so I have to go out and get it myself.’
DUA LIPAIt’s challenging to open for someone: You’ve got to prep the audience, get them in the mood, and get their attention if they don’t know you. You’re going to show them what songs you’ve got. You’ve got to leave your mark.
DUA LIPAI always wanted the flowiness that hip-hop artists had. I always admired how they rapped so fast, but I never wanted to rap; I wanted to sing the rap.
DUA LIPAThe first album I was given when I was quite young was the ‘Whoa, Nelly!’ album by Nelly Furtado. After, I also got the ‘Missundaztood’ album by Pink. That’s when I was like, ‘Oh my God, I want to be just like them!’
DUA LIPAA classic with a twist.
DUA LIPAI spend a lot of time in bed when I’m off. But if I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll go to a gallery.
DUA LIPASocial media can sometimes influence the charts, but I think that only great music makes it to the top. The good songs make it.
DUA LIPAI’m learning to accept myself. I’m still in the process of learning to love who I am.
DUA LIPAMy heart goes out to everyone as we see the end of this year and as we anticipate the new one. We’re in this together.
DUA LIPAMy goal is to get my music out to as many people as possible. That a song of mine is being played on the radio so far away from home really, really pushes me. It’s everything I’ve dreamed of.
DUA LIPAI like how powerful fashion makes me feel. I live for that grungy-prissy juxtaposition that Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Drew Barrymore wore in the ’90s.
DUA LIPAI never really wanted to base success on charts and chart positioning. For me, it’s really about the shows and seeing them grow.
DUA LIPAI’ve always been very much in control of my music and my image, and I think one of the things I’ve been lucky about is I didn’t bring a label on board until I really figured out who I was.
DUA LIPAI can’t dance. If I try, I’ll trip onstage.
