ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
After releasing her self-titled debut album in 2017, Dua Lipa made history when nominated for five categories at the 2018 Brit Awards - the first female to receive so many nominations. She was awarded ‘Best British Female Solo Artist’ and ‘Best British Breakthrough Act’. For the last two years, Dua Lipa has been the most streamed female artist in the world and the youngest female solo artist to reach 1 billion views on RU-vid . She continues to break records - the music video for her hit single ‘New Rules, her anthem for female empowerment, gained more than a billion views on RU-vid, making her the youngest female artist to hit this target. ‘One Kiss’ Dua’s collaboration with Calvin Harris became the biggest selling single of 2018 in the UK and she has sold over 40 million singles and over 4 million albums worldwide which includes platinum albums in 21 countries. And the awards keep coming with Dua winning two Grammys for “Best New Artist” and “Best Dance Recording” at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards and three Brit Awards including “Best Female” and “Best New Artist”.
