Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey was born June 21, 1985, is an American singer-songwriter. His music was underlined by the critics for his stylized cinematic quality, his preoccupation with the themes of the tragic novel, the charm and the melancholy, and his references to pop culture, particularly in the 50s and 60s in American culture .

Raised in the northern part of the state of New York, Del Rey moved to New York in 2005 to start his musical career. His paternal grandfather, Robert England Grant, Sr., was an investment banker for Kidder, Peabody & Co., vice president of Plow, Inc. and Textron, and venture capitalists. He has Scottish origins both from his mother and his father.

Grant grew up in Lake Placid, New York, and grew up as a Catholic. He attended a Catholic primary school and for a year, a high school where he taught his mother. He began to sing in the choir of his church when he was a child, where he was the singer. At fifteen, her parents sent her to the Kent School to solve a problem with the novice drink. His uncle, an admissions officer at the college, secured his financial assistance to attend.

The following autumn, at the age of nineteen, he enrolled at Fordham University where he specialized in philosophy, with an emphasis on metaphysics. He said that he chose to study the subject because "he filled the gap between God and science (...) I was interested in God and how technology could approach us to find out where we came from and why". According to Del Rey, he had trouble making friends at the college and university. He lived in the Bronx while attending Fordham. Before graduating in 2008, he moved to North Bergen, New Jersey. She was also a resident in Brooklyn for four years.

In college, Del Rey volunteered with programs for homeless young people, drugs and alcohol, and also helped to paint and rebuild homes in an indigenous Utah reservation. She will mention this trip as an integral part of her decision to become a composer: "I remember exactly when I decided that I wanted to become a singer, I was in college, [and] we went to the Indian reservation." That day I realized that Solo had two options: either making music or volunteering for a good cause, I chose the first option, if I had not [worked], I would have probably [played] social work in any small town. "

On April 25, 2005, an extended seven-song game was recorded with Elizabeth Woolridge Grant at the United States Copyright Office. The title of the app was Rock Me Stable with another Young title.

After uploading them to her YouTube channel in 2011, Del Rey's videos for "Video Games" and "Blue Jeans" became viral feelings on the Internet and Stranger Records signed with her to launch "Videogames" as her first single. He told The Observer: "I just put that song online a few months ago because it was my favorite." To be honest, it would not have been the single, but people really responded. The song earned him a Q award for "Next Big Thing" in October 2011 and an Ivor Novello for "Best Contemporary Song" in 2012. In the same month, he signed an agreement with Interscope Records and Polydor to work on his second album in the studio. Born to die

 Del Rey's performance was defended by the guest conductor of the evening program, actor Daniel Radcliffe, despite not having seen his performance. [58] Previously he had defended his place on the show, saying, "I'm a good musician [...] I've been singing for a long time, and I think [SNL's creator] Lorne Michaels knows that [...] It's a casual decision. "The following week on SNL, Kristen Wiig personified Del Rey, where she defended herself with humor during the weekend update.

The best winning alternative, Del Rey awarded the best woman award to Taylor Swift. At the 2013 BRIT Awards, he won the International Female Solo Artist Award, making it his second BRIT Award to date. His victory surprised critics who expected Taylor Swift to win the award. In March 2013, he starred in Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" for the French fashion magazine L'Officiel Paris.

Del Rey won the ECHO Awards for Best International Artist and Best International Pop / Rock Artist March 21, 2013 On March 27, 2013 a music video was released for the cover of Del Rey by Leonard Cohen, "Chelsea Hotel # 2". After the release of the song, he reached 22 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the highest peak of Del Rey in the table. However, shortly after his successful release on contemporary radio, the label removed him prematurely and decided to send a different song to that format; On July 2, 2013 a remix of Cedric Gervais was sent from "Tristeza del verano" by Del Rey; a success in sleep, the song turned out to be a success, beating "Young and Beautiful", reaching number 6 and becoming its first hit among the top ten Americans. The remix won the Grammy Award for best mixed and non-classical disc in 2013. Together with Paradise, Del Rey announced plans to launch a short film called Tropico. Tropico was filmed at the end of June 2013 and directed by Anthony Mandler.

On December 6, 2013, an EP, also called Tropico, went on sale through iTunes; includes the film itself along with the three songs mentioned above.
