The Rocker in Ora’s Life
According to reports, the rumored man in Ora’s life is singer and guitarist, Andrew Watt. Watt is an American guitarist, and singer-songwriter. He was the founding member and former guitarist of the rock band, California Breed. He was seen vacationing with Ora and getting close with her in Rome. The pair were photographed showing some cute PDA as they spent some quality time together.
Short Lived Super Group
Watt founded California Breed in 2013, along with Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, and Jason Bonham of Foreigner and Led Zeppelin. The band recorded its self-titled debut album in late 2013, and released it in May 2014. The album was a moderate success and reached number 78 on the US Billboard 200. Unfortunately, drummer Bonham could not tour with the band because of other commitments, and the band had difficulty continuing without him. Finally, in January 2015, the band announced that it would no longer continue.

Going His Own Way
In the meantime guitarist Watt had been working on his solo career. When the head of the John Varvatos Records heard what Watt had to offer, he was immediately impressed. In 2015, Watt was offered a record deal and was promoted by the label as “the next generation of rock and roll.” In 2015, Watt recorded and released his debut EP Ghost in My Head. Most of the instrumentals on the ablum were recorded by him.
The Floodgates Open
Watt then opened for alternative band Jane’s Addiction in October 2015. He was also the opening act for The Cult in February 2016. Later that month, Watt played with Robbie Krieger of The Doors, during a tribute performance for Ray Manzarek. Watt’s vocals of The Doors hit “L.A.Woman” was praised by no less than Rolling Stone itself. In 2016, Watt has performed with artists like Sting and co-wrote the song “Let Me Love You” by DJ Snake, which was sung by Justin Bieber.
Multi-Faceted Musician
Watt’s talents are not limited to guitar and singing. Watt is also a songwriter, producer, and music director. He has created music with many different artists such as Skrillex, Kygo, Post Malone, Cody Simpson, and SNBRN. Watt is devoted to music and has a huge passion for it
