Lana Del Rey never stops captivating audiences with her songs, which are often dark but rich in inspiration. The singer-songwriter consistently makes it to the critics’ discussion table for her recurring and inherent tragic and melancholy themes. She is widely known for her 2011 single “Video Games”.
The song, which was part of her major label debut, ‘Born to Die’ was a huge hit that greatly outshined the singer. She has since released other albums that have taken the billboards by storm. Like most of her peers, Lana had a difficult childhood. Not only is she a singer of melancholy songs, there are other lesser-known facts about Lana Del Rey.
Lana Del Rey’s bio, dude
She was born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant on June 21, 1985, in New York, to her parents; Robert England Grant Jr. her father and Patricia Ann her mother. Rey, who has two siblings, was raised Catholic by her parents. Lana, who attended a Catholic elementary school, began singing in her church choir, where she was the lead singer.
Lana began wallowing in alcoholism at the age of 15, an addiction that worried her parents so much that they sent her out to solve the problem. The singer admits that having a negative side was interesting to her until it turned into an addiction she couldn’t control. She was sent to the Kent School and then went to the State University of New York at Geneseo. However, she left school to work as a waitress for her aunt and uncle on Long Island. Lana spent a year on Long Island learning to play the guitar from her uncle.
She soon discovered her singing and songwriting talents and put them to good use. Lana started performing in clubs and small shows at the age of eighteen and had no plans at the time to promote her talent. At nineteen she entered Fordham University and majored in philosophy.
Her breakthrough came in 2011 when she uploaded videos of her songs “Video Games” and “Blue Jeans” to her YouTube channel, which she created that year. The songs went viral and she was soon signed to Stranger Records. She then released “Video Games” which became her debut single. The song, which was a commercial success, received a Q award for Next Big Thing in October 2011. Her debut album Born to Die followed in 2012 with all the singles that charted the Billboard Hot 100.Wealth (income and earnings)
Since her breakthrough in 2011, Lana Del Reyim has accumulated rich enough throughout her music career. The talented singer and songwriter has an estimated net worth of $18 million. This is quite fitting for the songwriter who never dreamed of promoting her rare talent. That total could be an insignificant number for Rey, who is still one step away from the peak of her career.
Personal life – dating, boyfriend, husband
Given her sad theme songs and musical style, one would think that Lana Del Rey has no stories in her love journal. But the opposite is actually the case for Lana, who, like any other girl, has had her fair share of love hullabaloos. She was previously in a relationship with Barrie-James O’Neill of the rock band Kassidy.
The couple, who began dating in 2011, called it quits in 2014 after three years. She also dated her debut album producer Steven Mertens. She dated Gerald Gillum – G-Eazy in 2017, a relationship that only lasted a few months.
Marriage rumors about Del Rey flooded the media in early 2018 after a ring was spotted on the blue jeans singer’s wedding finger in April. She was spotted with a man, whose name is still unknown, who was reported to be her boyfriend or fiance. However, the video games singer has not responded to the rumours.
Body measurements – height, weight
Lana Del Rey might not be such a wild and sassy performer, but she has a body to match. With her beautiful smile well placed on a well sculpted face and her beautiful curvaceous body, Lana is undeniably pretty.
She stands at 5 feet 6½ inches (169 cm) tall, which is fairly proportional to her weight of 61 kg (134.5 pounds). Rey and her body measurements of 34-26-34 easily fit into a size 6 (US) for her dresses.
