Rita Ora first rose to prominence in February 2012 when she featured on DJ Fresh’s single “Hot Right Now”, which reached #1 in the UK. She has now sold a staggering 7 million singles, had 12 Top Ten singles in the UK, and a #1 UK Platinum-selling debut album all under her belt, cementing herself as one of the most successful pop acts out of the UK in the last decade.
