Life story

Lana Del Rey - the personal life of this singer is in the public domain. She does not hide the mistakes of the past and openly shares her life experiences with fans. However, many believe that all the information available in the media about this person is the result of the coordinated work of a team of professional managers involved in promotion issues. Many critics are confident that her father’s money played an important role in her rise. After all, he is a well-known businessman in the USA.

The future singer spent her childhood in the small cozy village of Lake Placid. Lana Del Rey is not the only child in the family. The younger sister was born three years after her birth, and the brother seven years later. It is known about young Elizabeth that she began singing at the age of eleven. It was at this age that she began attending the church choir. Around this time, her passion for music began.

The parents supported their daughter in every possible way. However, I had to forget about music for some time, since the future singer became addicted to alcohol. Elizabeth's addiction was so obvious that her parents were forced to send her to boarding school. There, a fourteen-year-old girl had to find a new meaning in life and find herself. After graduating from school and coping with her problem, Lana Del Rey returned to New York and entered university. However, the girl preferred singing to study. She performed in cafes and restaurants, where she performed songs of her own composition. From that moment on, the girl’s ascent to the top of the musical Olympus began.

Singer career

The girl took her first steps in the entertainment industry herself. The self-released album was not a success with the public. However, the work was not in vain, as the rising star was noticed by producer David Cane. Under his leadership, the girl recorded the first real Lana Del Rey album; the previous one was urgently removed from sale. It was necessary to do this so that the first songs would not have a significant impact on her career.

2011 was Lana Del Rey's most successful year. Her song "Video Games" was named Best New Track by Pitchfork Media. In the same year, the first solo concert took place in her hometown.

The second album was presented to the public one year later. It was called Born to Die. However, the opinions of professionals and the public about him differed. The former greeted him very coolly, while the latter allowed him to occupy the top of the charts.

To date, the singer has five albums. The first two collections were named above. In addition to them, the albums Ultraviolence (2014), Honeymoon (2015) and Lust for Life (2017) were presented to the public.

Between 2010 and 2013, Lana Del Rey took part in the creation of three short films. She also has three concert tours under her belt. Spectators could enjoy the performance of their favorite singer in 2011-2012, 2013 and 2020. Although the star admitted in an interview that performing live makes her numb. The process of creating a musical composition brings her much greater pleasure.

In the summer of 2013 and 2016. The American performed in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Biography

Grant was born in New York City and grew up in Lake Placid, New York. Her father, Rob Grant, was an online investor; it was he who supported Elizabeth at the very beginning of her career. Grant received her higher education at Fordham University in New York. Already at the university, Elizabeth came up with a pseudonym for herself - the phrase 'Lana Del Rey' was reminiscent of the Cuban shores.

The girl's first album, consisting of three compositions 'Kill Kill', was released in October 2008;
The singer released this album under the pseudonym 'Lizzy Grant'. Elizabeth released her first studio album under the name 'Lana Del Rey aka Lizzie Grant'; It went on sale in January 2010. Grant worked with an independent label; It was produced by David Kahne. At one time the rights to the recording belonged to the '5 Points' label; Elizabeth later bought the rights to the record. Advertising:
In June 2011, Del Rey signed a contract with Stranger Records; It was under this label that Lana released her debut single 'Video Games'. In October 2011, Elizabeth signed a new contract with Interscope Records and Polydor.

On October 24, 2011, it became known that Del Rey received the Q award in the Next Big Thing category. On September 27, 2011, the song 'Video Games' was performed in the television series 'Ringer'; largely thanks to this advertising, Lana significantly expanded her army of fans. Del Rey, meanwhile, continued to promote her album by actively performing in concerts; among other things, fate even brought her to the MTV show 'Push'. Critics have noted that Del Rey sometimes appears overly nervous during performances; however, in those moments when Elizabeth still gathered her strength, her voice acquired extremely impressive energy. Del Rey has performed on British, Dutch and American television programs.

Lana Del Rey planned her debut album for January 2012. In an interview, Elizabeth admitted that the album will be called 'Born to Die'. The album was indeed released on time - January 27, 2012 in Ireland, January 30, 2012 in the United Kingdom, and January 31, 2012 worldwide.

On January 14, 2012, Del Rey performed two of her songs on Saturday Night Live; The audience generally received her quite warmly, but critics and the general public treated Lana with much more skepticism. Later, TV presenter Brian Williams called Del Rey's performance one of the worst concerts in the history of the program; however, Lana also had defenders - including the famous film actor Daniel Radcliffe.

The second single, 'Born To Die', was released on December 30, 2011. The video for the song appeared two weeks earlier, on December 14, 2011; Del Rey created the idea for it herself, while Yoann Lemoine took over the direction.

Biography of Lana Del Rey

A girl with the appearance of the golden age of Hollywood, a languid voice and sad songs about love, blew up the Internet in 2011 with her homemade video. The singer’s first official album didn’t take long to arrive. However, the biography of Lana Del Rey shows the difficult path that she had to go through to achieve global recognition.

Lana Del Rey's family

Lana Del Rey (real name Elizabeth Grant) was born, according to various sources, on June 21, 1985 or 1986 in the family of domain investor Rob Grant in New York. As a child, Lana Del Rey lived in the village of Lake Placid. In addition to her, the family has two more children: sister Caroline Grant (better known among fans as Chuck Grant; the girl is often the author of Lana’s photographs, and has also appeared more than once in her videos) and brother Charlie Grant. The family had a fairly high income; Lana sang in the church choir from the age of 11. Lana Del Rey's parents have always supported their daughter's passion for music. However, as a teenager, the girl developed problems with alcohol and at the age of 14 she was sent to a specialized boarding school to get rid of alcohol addiction.

After graduating from school, the girl moved to New York, where she began performing in cafes and restaurants with songs of her own composition. However, this did not bring her much success. In 2008, Lana, under her real name Elizabeth Grant, released the mini-album Kill Kill. It did not gain much popularity, and was soon withdrawn from sale altogether, so as not to distract attention from the performer’s new image and vocals. In 2011, the song Video Games was released, which was no longer released by Elizabeth, but by Lana Del Rey (both the girl’s appearance and her vocal parts have undergone changes) and this was the beginning of Lana’s ascent to the song Olympus.

Now the star has four full-length albums and one mini-album, Paradise, which was released as a complement to her most popular album, Born To Die. Lana Del Rey has also composed soundtracks for several films, including Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and Tim Burton's Big Eyes.
