It was my dad's idea to change my name from Sahatciu to Ora. He said it would be easier to pronounce.

My dad wanted me to go down a more academic route. He is very much about sticking to the rule book and sticking to the blueprint of a successful career.

I love eating at my dad's pub, the Queens Arms in Kilburn. It does a traditional Albanian spinach pie.

I was in Boots buying contact lens solution, and my mobile went off. It was Jay-Z's partner at Roc Nation asking me what I was up to. He asked if I'd been to America, and I said, 'No.' Then he said, 'I'm putting you on a flight to New York tomorrow.'

If I could live in a cabaret, I would. If I could live in 'Moulin Rouge,' I would.

My name can't be that tough to pronounce!
