The 'RIP' hitmaker is planning to return to higher education to fulfil a promise she made to her parents after she got signed by a record label, reported Showbiz spy.
"I got my first production credit when I was 14 and then it kind of escalated from there. I got signed at 18 so it came to the point where I could either finish university, or I could carry on and finish university later, which I promised my dad I would do, so I will do it," she said.
Ora, 21, was born in the Balkan state of Kosovo, but grew up in London, although she recently returned there to film the video to her new single, 'Shine Ya Light', which she is particularly proud of.
"It was definitely the experience of my life, because I was born there, and it's a third world country and I wanted to show the world where I come from. It was my idea to do the video."
