Lana Del Rey

American singer, songwriter, producer, artist and poet.

Born: 21 June 1985 in New York City, New York, USA.

Raised in Lake Placid, a small village in New York. In 2000, when she was fifteen, she was sent to Kent School in Connecticut to deal with her alcohol abuse. After graduating from high school in 2003, she spent a year living in Long Island. Being taught how to play guitar by her uncle, she began playing at nightclubs under various names such as "Sparkle Jump Rope Queen" and "Lizzy Grant and the Phenomena" with no real ambition to pursue music as a career.

In the fall of 2004, she enrolled at Fordham University in New York where she studied metaphysics. Her time there was when her musical experience began. Between 2005 and 2009, she had several music projects including her works as May Jailer and [a=Lizzy Grant]. She finally released her first album, "[url=https://www.discogs.com/master/920392-Lana-Del-Ray-Lana-Del-Ray-AKA-Lizzy-Grant]A.K.A. Lizzy Grant[/url]" (2010), under the stage name Lana Del Ray – later changed to Lana Del Rey, with an 'e'.

Over the years, well over 100 of her songs – mostly demos and songs from the May Jailer/Lizzy Grant eras – have been leaked through a variety of media.
