It has only been four months since Rita took the music scene by storm by unleashing her debut singles,
R.I.P and
How We Do (Party) but many don't know who she is beyond the spotlight as many critics have sheltered her under Rihanna's umbrella of stardom. Speaking to Complex she discusses about working with Jay Z, Eurovision Song Contest she had participated in, her tattoos and many more. Read some excerpts below and after the jump.
Working with Jay Z:
“Working with Jay has always been an honor for
me from three years ago to now. My view hasn’t changed. I’m so happy to be part
of a great family and to be part of a voice that is hugely respected in the
music industry and to be under his wing is just really lucky but also an
amazing learning experience as an artist. I’m just around these amazingly
talented people that have been doing this for a long time and to have them
worry about me and stuff like that is great. I just hope I do everybody justice.
Eurovison Song Contest:
“Before I got signed, this opportunity came my
way and I didn’t really know a lot about the contest. I didn’t really watch it
but I thought it was my last shot. There was a time, from when I was 16 to 18,
where I was like, ‘What am I doing with myself?’ I was lost and I didn’t really
have that much to do. I just felt like I didn’t know what was going to happen
to me so I thought that was my last chance.
