Rita Ora is "mega talented" songstress

British songstress Rita Ora is "mega talented" says DJ Fresh.

The pair teamed up on No. 1 single 'Hot Right Now' which showcased Ora's vocals to perfection and introduced her into the mainstream charts.

Fresh is pleased to have played an important part in launching the singer into super stardom.

He told BANG Showbiz: "She is mega talented. She just needed the right platform to launch her. For quite a long time, her management and label were looking for a single to launch her and 'Hot Right Now' was what they were looking for."

Ora - who is signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation record label - has since gone on to have hits with 'R.I.P' and 'How We Do (Party)'.

Fresh has revealed why he thinks 'Hot Right Now' was such a hit.

He explained: "It's a power of the people thing. The demand is there. It's overwhelming. Every young person today grows up listening to drum-and-bass and dubstep, and radio and TV weren't recognising that for a long time. Finally, they're realising they can't go against the tide.

He continued: "It's taken a long time for the world of TV and radio to catch up to the real world and what young people are listening to today."
