Jay-Z Protégé Rita Ora on Having Hov and Beyoncé as Mentors and Her Roc Nation Debut

British singer Rita Ora is poised to make a splash stateside this Summer with the release of her first album on Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s label, as well a series of tour dates with Coldplay. We caught up with the platinum blond pop singer during her recent visit to LA to talk about her “gritty” sound, hearing herself on the radio for the first time, and her love of vintage clothes and playing dress up. She also filled us in on what it’s been like to have Jay and Beyoncé Knowles as her musical guides and the “so cute” new addition to the Roc Nation family, baby Blue Ivy. Check out our interview and listen to Rita’s newest track, “How We Do (Party),” on iTunes now!
