Good morning, today I want to share with you a drawing of mine made by the artists LANA DEL REY, is one of my favorite singers.
I hope you like it and also some of the bibliography that I found in a web page and also that I liked.
Lana Del Rey is an American singer/songwriter and Vogue cover girl.
Born in New York in 1986, her birth name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant.
She was raised in Lake Placid, a quiet village outside of NewYork State. Aged 15, she was sent to boarding school in connecticut, before moving to New York City when she was 18 to study metaphysics at Fordham University - "that was when my musicalexperience began. I kind of found people for myself," she toldVogue of the time.
She began performing in clubs around the city under various names, including her birth name Lizzy Grant, as well as Sparkle Rope Jump Queen and Lizzy Grant and the Phenomena. "I was always singing, but didn't plan on pursuing it seriously," she told us. "When I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn - I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point - and that was it."
Aged 20, she signed a record contract for $10,000 and movedinto a trailer park outside of the city. The album she recorded waslater shelved, causing her to shift her focus. Instead, she beganto work in community service. "Homeless outreach, drug and alcoholrehabilitation - that's been my life for the past five years," shetold Vogue in 2012.
She decided to rebrand herself as Lana Del Rey and in October 2011, she signed a joint record deal with Interscope Records and Polydor.
Del Rey released the song Video Games online in June2011, following it up with an accompanying video on YouTube inAugust. "I just put that song online a few months ago because itwas my favourite. To be honest, it wasn't going to be the singlebut people have really responded to it. I get very sad when I playthat song. I still cry sometimes when I sing it," she told theObserver in 2011.
Video Gamesaccumulated in excess of 20million YouTube views in its first 5 months of upload.
On October 24th 2011, it was announced that Del Rey had wonthe <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_Awards"title="Q Awards">Q award for "Next BigThing".
Her debut album Born To Die was released in January2012. It charted at number one on the Official UK Album Chart.
She has described her unique look - auburn hair in Veronica Lake waves, full lips and permanently artistic talons - as "Gangster Nancy Sinatra" and "Lolita got lost in the hood".
Of her stage name, she has told us: "I wanted a name I could shape the music toward. I was going to Miami quite a lot at the time, speaking a lot of Spanish with my friends from Cuba - Lana Del Rey reminded us of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue."
She appeared on the cover of the March 2012 issue of BritishVogue. Alexandra Shulman said in her editor's letter: "Iam one of the many thousands of people enraptured by the throaty,seductive voice of Lana Del Rey... Once I had seen Lana play at asmall event in London, I was convinced that she would be agreatVogue cover girl, even though she is probably one ofthe newest stars in her field that the magazine has ever had on thecover."
Del Rey said in the accompanying interview that she may not release a second album, stating: "Oh, I don't think I'll write another record. What would I say? I feel like everything I wanted to say, I've already said."
