Lana Del Rey is the stage name of Elizabeth (Lizzy) Grant (born 1986 or 1987), an American singer songwriter
Grant was born in New York City and grew up in Lake Placid, New York. She is the daughter of domain investor Rob Grant. She currently lives in London. The stage name Lana Del Rey came about from managers who believed that a name reminiscent of Hollywood glamour would better suit the kind of music that Grant was making.
She released an EP entitled "Kill Kill" in 2009, under the name Lizzy Grant. She also recorded a full-length album with producer David Kahne, which was shelved for unknown reasons.

Her song "Video Games" was named "Best New Track" by Pitchfork and was featured on The CW TV-Series Ringer. Grant played her first U.S. show on September 21, 2011, at The Box in New York City. Her debut single "Video Games" b/w "Blue Jeans" was released by Stranger Records on vinyl on October 10, and October 11 digitally. Tickets for Grant's show in London sold out in half an hour.

The EP for both of the singles "Video Games" and "Blue Jeans" reached the US Top 5 iTunes Album Downloads hours only after its release. On October 11, 2011 she performed "Video Games" live on Later... with Jools Holland, her first live performance on UK television.

  • Story time into the void: i first heard this song on this show. I woke/came to on the couch just as jools was introducing her, surrounded by bottles and ashtrays. My highschool sweetheart wife and infant daughter had moved out a week before and I was in a bleak place.

  • I wish I could relive listening to her for the first time. It was like nothing I had ever heard before. This sense of nostalgia and love lost. Haunting and beautiful. I played Video Games and Born to Die nonstop for months.

  • It feels real with her nerves but its a great performance. Her goddess appearance and unique voice and the bare bones backing make it special. What a song
