Dua Lipa is a famous pop star known for most of her hit songs. She has also worked with celebrated veteran singers like Sean Paul and Calvin Harris.

Even though Dua was born in the UK—her parents are from Kosovo— a small country located in the southeast of Europe. However, they relocated to London in the early 1990s before she was born.

Dukagjin Lipa Has a Creative State of Mind as His Daughter

Even though Dukagjin trained as a dentist, he has a passion for music. In the 1990s, he made a name for himself in the music industry by working with several bands. At some point, he was the lead singer of the rock band Oda which broke up in 1998.

Still, that didn't stop his passion for music; he likes to play guitar and piano. Today, he is a music producer and has played a significant role in Dua's music career.

While growing up, Dua's father made her listen to famous and successful bands and singers. For example, she listened to the rock band Oasis and English singer David Bowie.

Dukagjin, originally from Kosovo, left the landlocked country due to political instability in 1992. He finally settled with his wife, Anesa Lipa, in West Hampstead in London. Although their children were born in the UK, the family speaks both Albanian and English at home.

On June 28, 2022, Dua posted photos on her Instagram wishing her gorgeous mother a happy birthday as she turned 50.

Besides his love for music, Dukagjin has other interests, and based on his LinkedIn profile; he has worked with several companies in different industries.

He is the founder, CEO, and Executive Creative Director of Republika Marketing Communications Agency, a company that has been operating since 2008.

Dukagjin also worked at Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, Inc on a contract basis. Currently, he works at Faraday Future as a Global Chief Innovations Adviser.

Even though Dukagjin's career might portray him as a serious guy, he has a soft side, which can be seen by how he bonds with his daughter on social media.

Dukagjin, who has 303K followers on Instagram, frequently shares pictures of him and his daughter on the photo-sharing platform. Judging from the photos, one can quickly tell the two have a strong bond.

Dukagjin Lipa Reportedly Manages Dua Lipa

In early 2022, Dua ended her contract with the management company she signed in 2013, reportedly because of money disagreements.

Her split from the company that turned her into a global star shocked many people. After leaving Tap Management, the "Cold Heart" singer is now managed by her father, Dukagjin Lipa.

According to reports, Dukagjin tried to get his daughter to perform at the world cup 2020 by negotiating with Qataris for nearly two years.

In 2020, Dukagjin made his first attempt to speak with Qatar's World Cup Organizing body about bringing Dua on board to perform at the World cup. He later stated that his daughter wasn't aware of his contact with Qataris.

The revelation came after Dua dismissed the rumors about her performing at the world cup opening ceremony. The pop star also said that she was not involved in any negotiations concerning the matter.
