Ola is a refugee, in 1991, when she was only one year old, her family fled from Kosovo to The Uk, although she never minded the word, but it was not easy for her parents and sister, Ola said, "The word refugee carries a lot of prejudice, but it also makes us determined to survive", in order to maintain the balance, her father worked two jobs at one point, and eventually sent Ola to a private school, she felt that she was the only student in the school without money, she said: "All the children wear name tags." And I carried a school bag for six years, but I don't care."

Now Ola is not shy about showing off her figure, and it is well known that she likes to show off herself in a little bit of revealing clothes, including the controversial black leather dress she wore on the BBC show, but she said in an interview that she hated being precocious at 14 years old than her peers, especially when she was in music class, and having to wear tight jumpsuits, what changed Ola's mind, she added, "Until the most handsome boy in the class liked me, then I chose to accept my figure".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Gwen Stephanie's influence on her</h1>
Everyone knows that Gwen Stephanie had a big influence on Ola, she fell in love with red lipstick after seeing Stephanie on TV when she was 13 years old, she said, "I thought, this is who I want to be in the future", but she wanted to copy more than Just Stephanie's lips, the first thing she did after leaving school was to buy a bottle of hair dye and dye her jet black hair into Stephanie's blonde, Ola said that she went through a punk period, in order to let everyone understand her rebellion, She tore her T-shirt and turned her nails green
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > waiting is the hardest</h1>
After she signed with Roc Nation, Aura fantasized that she would release her debut album right away, and then, the next thing was to sit down and talk to Oprah, but that wasn't the case, Roc Nation canceled her first album, and her long-awaited "Ora" didn't hit the shelves until 2012, after which "Ora" won platinum sales and produced three number one singles
Ola admits there have been many setbacks in the process, but she chose to be optimistic, claiming that waiting allowed her to find herself, saying, "If I play you a song when I'm 18 and the same song for you at 22, it must be two completely different periods, two completely different stories."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > intertwines work and love</h1>
Ola has dated a long list of public figures, including Bruno Mars and A$AP Loki, but the most talked about is the romance with Rob Kardashian and Calvin Harris, in 2012, Rob Kardashian posted a message on his personal platform accusing them of being together when Ola betrayed him, "she cheated on me with nearly 20 men", Ola countered that he was taking advantage of the hype, DJ Calvin Harris was also very unhappy about the breakup with Ola in 2014, and also recorded them together. I'll Never Let You Down" and other songs were taken from his records
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > music to the back burner, but it wasn't her willing</h1>
Since the record label was unable to release her follow-on album, in 2015, Ola became a judge of the British version of The Voice and hosted the Supermodel Rookie Contest in 2016, she also dabbled in the modeling industry and reached an endorsement agreement with Madonna's clothing brand line, in other words, she did everything except music, she said, "I am a singer, but for some reason I can't release the next album, and there are many invitations to come, why don't I accept it", it seems that she made the right decision, Although Aura didn't release new music, she made £3 million in 2016
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > isolated by the company</h1>
After waiting for a few years, Roc Nation still didn't release a second record for her, and she reportedly filed a lawsuit alleging that she didn't get the support she needed and wanted from the contract and wanted to get rid of the service, Ola told the magazine, "Sometimes at night I really want to go crazy, put my music online for free, and then tell everyone to download and share it", roc Nation also filed a $2.3 million lawsuit, claiming that Aura owes them albums
She did her best to make the most positive assessment of the whole thing, and Ola later accused Roc Nation of being sexist in an interview
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > reborn</h1>
To understand how Ola felt after leaving Roc Nation in 2016 to sign with Atlantic Records UK, just look at the name of her second album of 2018, Phoenix, Ola said that she and Phoenix have evolved once and become a new self, and this album proves that Ola is still promising in the music field, and some singles have also made it to the top 10 of the UK singles charts
Best of all, this time, fans don't seem to have to wait a few more years to launch a new album, and Aura excitedly says, "I think it's the best time, I'm not going to stop, I'm going to keep making a lot of music", she will probably start making another album in 2021, but, as we learned from Ola's career, the plans can always change
