Why Dua is here

Multi-award-winning artist and advocate for Palestinian rights

Their story

Dua Lipa is an English singer and songwriter, born in London in 1995 to Kosovo Albanian parents. Her albums Future Nostalgia (2020) and Radical Optimism (2024) made her one of the most successful pop artists of her generation, with three Grammy Awards and seven Brit Awards.

She has spoken up for Palestinians since 2021, when a full-page newspaper advert attacked her for it and she refused to back down. In 2023 she signed the Artists4Ceasefire letter calling for an end to the bombing of Gaza, and she has kept using her platform to draw attention to Palestinian lives.
