Lana Del Rey, born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant on June 21, 1985, in New York City, USA, is a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter known for her dreamy, cinematic style and nostalgic, melancholic lyrics. She grew up in Lake Placid, New York, and developed a passion for music as a teenager, learning to play guitar from a local minister. After attending Fordham University, where she studied philosophy with a focus on metaphysics, she moved to Brooklyn to pursue her music career.
Lana’s early years in music involved performing in clubs and self-releasing songs under different monikers. Her breakthrough came in 2011 with the release of “Video Games,” a haunting single that quickly went viral and positioned her as a unique voice in pop music. This was followed by her debut major-label album, “Born to Die” (2012), which became a commercial success worldwide and introduced her signature blend of dream pop, baroque pop, and indie rock with a cinematic, vintage Americana aesthetic.
Over the years, Lana has released several critically acclaimed albums, including “Ultraviolence” (2014), “Honeymoon” (2015), “Lust for Life” (2017), and “Norman F*ing Rockwell!” (2019),** the latter of which earned her Grammy nominations and widespread recognition as one of the most important voices of her generation.
Her music is characterized by themes of love, heartbreak, escapism, Americana, fame, and tragedy, often told through a lens of noir glamour and nostalgia. She has been praised for her poetic songwriting, smoky vocals, and ability to create immersive sonic worlds that blur the lines between fantasy and reality.
Lana Del Rey has also been credited with popularizing a new wave of “sadcore” and cinematic pop, influencing a generation of artists who now explore darker, moodier themes in mainstream music. Beyond music, she is a published poet, having released her poetry collection “Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass” in 2020, which further showcased her literary sensibilities.
With multiple Grammy nominations, Brit Awards, and a cult-like fan base, Lana remains an enigmatic figure whose artistry continues to evolve. Her ability to stay authentic while reinventing her sound has kept her relevant for more than a decade, making her one of the most celebrated alternative pop artists of the 21st century.
