Lana Del Rey, born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant on June 21, 1985, in New York, USA, showed a love for music and poetry from a young age. She started writing songs and playing piano as a teenager. Before becoming Lana Del Rey, she released music under different names like Lizzy Grant, but it wasn’t until 2011 that she blew up worldwide with her viral hit “Video Games.” Her style mixes alternative pop, dream pop, and a vintage jazz vibe, creating a melancholic atmosphere like a black-and-white movie with a splash of neon. Her commercially successful debut album was Born to Die (2012), featuring hits like “Born to Die” and “Summertime Sadness.” This album made her famous for her deep voice, nostalgic lyrics, and retro style that recalls the 50s and 60s. Over the years, Lana has evolved, exploring more introspective and poetic sounds in albums like Ultraviolence (2014), Honeymoon (2015), and the critically acclaimed Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019), which got multiple Grammy nominations and is considered by many critics her masterpiece. Lana Del Rey is not just known for her music but also for her cultural and aesthetic influence, inspiring a whole generation with her cinematic, melancholic vibe. Her recent albums include Chemtrails over the Country Club (2021), Blue Banisters (2021), and her latest Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (2023), where she continues to explore personal and social themes with deep artistic sensitivity. Throughout her career, Lana has received multiple awards and nominations, including several Grammys, and has become an icon for fans who appreciate her authenticity, unique voice, and artistic vision.
