Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, known by her stage name Lana Del Rey, is an American singer-songwriter. Del Rey started writing at the age of 18 and she signed her first recording contract when she was 22 years old with 5 Points Records in 2007.

Del Rey's music has been noted for its cinematic sound and its references to various aspects of pop culture, particularly that of the 1950s and 1960s Americana. The singer has described herself as a "self-styled gangsta Nancy Sinatra".

She began singing in the church choir when she was a girl. After her uncle taught her how to play the guitar, she "realized she could probably write a million songs with those six chords," and she began performing nightclubs around the city under various names such as Sparkle Jump Rope Queen and Lizzy Grant and the Phenomena.

Quotes:
Lana Del Rey explains why she went into the music industry:
"I wanted to be part of a high-class scene of musicians. It was half-inspired because I didn't have many friends, and I was hoping that I would meet people and fall in love and start a community around me, the way they used to do in the '60s."

Lana Del Rey talking about her experience being sent t oa boarding school in Connecticut for three years to get sober:
"I was a big drinker at the time. I would drink every day. I would drink alone. I thought the whole concept was so fucking cool. A great deal of what I wrote on Born To Die is about these wilderness years. When I write about the thing that I've lost I feel like I'm writing about alcohol because that was the first love of my life.

My parents were worried, I was worried. I knew it was a problem when I liked it more than I liked doing anything else. I was like, 'I'm fucked. I am totally fucked'. Like, at first it's fine and you think you have a dark side - it's exciting - and then you realise the dark side wins every time if you decide to indulge in it. It's also a completely differentway of living when you know that...a different species of person. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me"
