Mini bio
How it started.
Before fans knew her as Lana Del Rey, she performed as Lizzy Grant. She told interviewer Mark Savage that she began writing at 18, after her uncle taught her six guitar chords. She went on to play New York clubs and bars while studying metaphysics at Fordham University.
The breakthrough.
“Video Games” brought her to a much wider audience in 2011. Born to Die followed in 2012, reaching No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US. Ultraviolence became her first US No. 1 album in 2014.
A growing songbook.
Her albums move between orchestral pop, American imagery and quieter country-folk sounds. Norman Fucking Rockwell! began a lasting recording partnership with Jack Antonoff in 2019. In 2020, she published her first poetry book, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, pairing poems with her own photography.
Where fans can catch up.
Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd arrived in 2023. Her next chapter has included 2025 stadium shows, the 2026 Bond game theme “First Light” and “Lies” with Zach Bryan. In July 2026, she described a companion record to the forthcoming Stove; that update did not set release dates.
