British pop superstar’s brother following in her footsteps by launching music career
DUA LIPA is flying high as one of Britain’s leading music acts – and her brother could soon follow suit.
I’ve learned Gjin, 18, pictured below in 2019, is cutting his teeth as a music producer after forging a friendship with rapper AJ Tracey.
They met three and a half years ago while doing cameos in Dua’s live-streamed lockdown concert, Studio 2054, and are now working together.
A music insider said: “Gjin really knows his stuff when it comes to hip-hop and grime.
“During lockdown he got really into music production and now he is making tentative steps to work in that field.
“Being mates with AJ has been really inspiring for him too.
“His music is totally different from what his big sister does and will be more behind the scenes as a producer.”
Dua’s third album, Radical Optimism, came out on Friday and is on course to top the charts, toppling Taylor Swift.
Last week we revealed that Dua is in talks with legend Cyndi Lauper to come out as a special guest during her Glastonbury headlining set.
A source said: “Dua is raring to go for Glastonbury and she can’t wait for people to hear her new music.
“She knows the record will strike a chord with her fans but for the old school muso’s at the Farm, she wants a touch of nostalgia.
“Kevin Parker from Tame Impala, who worked on Radical Optimism with Dua is another.
“She wants this set to go down in history.”
