Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey comes from an intelligent family. The head of which works in the field of domain investing. Her rich inner world is well reflected in the lyrics and melodies of her own songs.
Lana was not a calm teenager. She herself talked about her alcohol addiction, which the girl developed when she was only fourteen years old. Subsequently, remembering those days, Lana calls alcohol her first love, and is proud that she found the strength to get rid of this relationship.
As Lana entered adulthood, she tried her charm to advance her career.
Thus, the star had a long seven-year relationship with the manager of a music label, and also admitted to relationships with various men from the music world. But, as she herself says, the method of gaining popularity through the use of men’s feelings did not bring the desired victories in the professional field.
Lana Del Rey and Barry-James O'Neal
Having reconsidered her views on love, Lana was able to begin a long-term romantic relationship with Barry O'Neil in 2011. The paparazzi happily photographed the happy couple in love. It seemed that the musician would be able to persuade his creative friend to walk down the aisle. However, in 2014 the couple separated. Lana admits that this relationship was very important to her and admits her guilt for the breakup that happened. She reproaches herself for emotional instability and a tendency to depression, which did not at all contribute to the strength of romantic affection. Also, the star did not deny the chance of renewing lost feelings. It should be noted that Barry himself denied the final break in relations in the press.
However, Lana has recently delighted fans with a new romance. It seems that her heart is firmly occupied this time. The diva's chosen one was Francesco Carrosini, who works as a high-class photographer for Vogue magazine. The couple spends a lot of time together, engages in outdoor activities, rides a scooter and looks very happy.
Fans of the singer are waiting for the continuation of the romance, and hope that Francesco becomes Lana del Rey’s husband, the singer will be satisfied with the relationship and agree to start a family.
Now Lana Del Rey lives between New York, London and Glasgow and has not consumed a drop for several years. (She, of course, portrays a diva from the 1960s, but she solved the alcohol problem, as too outdated, in the fashion of the 21st century.)
MC: You sing about disappointment all the time. Have you ever had a sad love story?
Lana Del Rey: Yes, there was a person in my life with whom I would like to live my whole life. We were both innocent and happy. But his feelings soon began to fade. He was sitting at home in front of the computer, not paying attention to me. It became impossible to live together. It was hard to accept. Before him, I struggled with loneliness for so long! And when it seemed that I had finally found someone who would take care of me, it was all over.
MC: What have you come up with to successfully compete with monsters like Lady Gaga? Have you created your own image?
L.D. Ray: Thank you for thinking so! (Laughs.) I don’t think I’m doing anything on purpose. I don't wear crazy suits. I agree, sometimes my sweaters look vintage - but that's because they fit the mood of my music perfectly. That's all. Perhaps my voice and lyrics are a little provocative, but I just want everything to be beautiful. So that my music evokes pleasant memories.
MC: But the songs are quite dark. All about loss of innocence and unmet expectations. Has your difficult life in New York led you astray from your optimistic path in life?
L.D. Ray: It all started before New York. During adolescence I had a lot of problems, I was a terribly unhappy creature. I behaved inappropriately, drank sip at a time to calm down, and got very drunk several times. In New York, I decided to start a new life and write songs. I was all alone in the city, and it stimulated me - in many ways. I met interesting (and even quite unusual!) people whom I began to imitate. So, with the help of music, I learned to solve problems.
MC: Why did you call one of your albums Born to Die?
L.D. Ray: The inspiration was the fear that I experienced as a child, when I suddenly realized that my dad, mom and I, all of us in this world, would die sooner or later. This philosophical crisis still exists in my life.
MC: Your favorite topic is loneliness. Do you still feel unwanted?
L.D. Ray:(Laughs.) No, I feel satisfied. But I'm an introvert by nature. So I sing about what happens to girls who think they have found the one person for life, and then their dreams are suddenly crushed. Being lonely and not feeling attached to anyone is very difficult. I want to believe that you will find happiness.
MC: Are you a shy person?
L.D. Ray: Closed. I get very nervous when I have to be the first to talk to someone I don't know.
MC: Doesn’t this interfere during concerts?
L.D. Ray: Sometimes it's even noticeable. But I'm learning to deal with it. I repeat to myself: “Relax, think only about the notes, and not about what and who is around you.”
MC: What do you have besides notes?
L.D. Ray: I have many other interests. I love decorations. Valuable jewellery. I have a favorite jeweler in New York who does amazing things. Perhaps this is not a very original hobby? But I do not care. I always tell myself: “Think about those who like you, everything else should not bother you.” In my opinion, the main thing is to be a good person and live an interesting life. This may sound naive, but this is what I am all about.

Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, better known by her stage name Lana Del Rey, is a popular American singer and songwriter.
Childhood
Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, whom the whole world now knows under the stage name Lana Del Rey, was born into the family of a millionaire investor on June 21, 1985 in a small village called Lake Placid, which is located near New York.
Already during her school years, the future singer showed interest in the music scene, and it was for this reason that she devoted all her free time to the school choir. Elizabeth grew up as a withdrawn child who had virtually no friends. And instead of playing with her peers, she sat at home, watched old Hollywood movies, or played the acoustic guitar.
After graduating from school and entering higher education, the girl did not forget about her hobbies, sometimes playing musical compositions in the manner of jazz performers from the past, in bars and pubs.
The name for Elizabeth's stage image was invented by the managers working for her. According to the singer, she decided to take the stage name “Lana Del Rey” for one simple reason - it sounded mysterious and musical.

Lana Del Rey singer
Almost no one knows, but the young singer released her first music collection under her real name. But the collection, called “Kill Kill,” did not gain fame. It was withdrawn from sale shortly after recording, only to be re-released in 2012.
Elizabeth's first popularity came in 2012, when a composition called “Video Games” produced the effect of a bomb exploding in the music world. On the wave of popularity, the singer’s managers insist on organizing the first concert. Later, the record company "Tranger Records" receives permission to release the single "Video Games/Blue Jeans" on a vinyl record.
Video Games - Lana Del Rey In the same 2011, the girl recorded another musical mini-collection called “Born to Die”. At the beginning of 2012, a full-length album appeared on sale, which received exactly the same name. Despite the fact that music critics received it ambiguously, fans of the young singer’s work spoke only in a positive way. On June 22 of the same year, the singer finished work on the song “Summertime Sadness,” which immediately entered the top lines of music charts in 15 countries. Less than a month later, the pop diva shoots her debut video clip for the musical composition, together with Jamie King.
In the first half of 2012, Lana Del Rey presented to the public a composition called “Young and Beautiful,” which was written for the movie “The Great Gatsby” at the request of the director. A little later, the young performer finishes working on the mini-album “Paradise” and the short feature film “Tropico”.

Repeatedly, Lana Del Rey came under a barrage of criticism from journalists and stage colleagues about her poor stage presence. At first, the singer did not pay attention to the attacks. But after attacks on her from Juliet, Lewis admitted to reporters that she felt out of place during public events.
At the end of 2015, it became known that the girl was working on another music collection. The singer lifted the veil of secrecy and announced a possible change in her musical style, from the Californian sound to the New York one.
Lana Del Rey personal life
In his youth, the future star of the American pop scene had problems with alcohol. Remembering that period of time, the girl claims that she was one step away from being called a complete alcoholic. Initially, Lana Del Rey liked her “demons,” but time passed and the singer stopped romanticizing bad habits. By helping the homeless and attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, Lana was able to overcome her addictions.
For about three years, Elizabeth dated a musician named Barry James O'Neill. For a long time, the lovers tried to maintain their relationship, but the couple broke up. The singer still blames herself and her depressive mood for this. It is worth saying that Barry himself denies the guilt of his former lover.
After a difficult breakup, journalists often saw Lana Del Rey in the company of the famous photographer Francesco Carrozzini. As the young people admitted, talk about close relationships is premature, since there is nothing but friendship between the singer and the photographer.

Childhood
The future stage star was born in New York, but spent her entire childhood in the small village of Lake Placid. The girl's real name is Elizabeth Grant. Her ancestors lived in America for a long time, so the girl’s nationality is American, although it is known that she has Scottish roots. The star’s parents led a modest life: mom was a teacher, dad was a copywriter. True, then her father went into business and achieved significant success there. Elizabeth was the eldest child in the family; she also has a younger brother and sister. From the age of 11, the girl sang in the church choir. It is widely known that in adolescence the future star had serious problems with alcohol. The performer often uses the experience of those days to write songs. But studying at a specialized school helped Elizabeth overcome this addiction. She now calls this time the darkest of her life. After graduating from school, living with relatives for a while, the girl entered the university at the Faculty of Philosophy. While studying, she learned to play the guitar and began writing her own songs. Since then, she is confident that you can write a hit knowing just a few chords.
The beginning of a creative journey
The beginning of the girl’s musical career is not original: Elizabeth performed in cafes and clubs. Somewhere at the age of 22, the singer decided to present her songs to the public, which did not arouse interest among the public. According to the artist, she was an underground singer performing for a small circle.
In the fall of 2008, the performer, under the name Lizzie Grant, released her first official single, “Kill Kill,” from 5 Point Records. At this stage, the aspiring singer received great financial support from her father, who invested in her promotion. The song was not a huge success, but the girl attracted attention and received the coveted contract with the producer.
Activism and fame
Working with a producer changed more than just the music. She changed her name to the pseudonym Lana Del Rey, changed her appearance and began experimenting with vocals. A pretty blonde with thin lips turned into a fatal dark-haired beauty. Lana usually denies that she resorted to the services of plastic surgeons, but the photographs speak for themselves: the girl’s lips became thicker and the hump from her nose disappeared.
The singer’s first big success was the video “Video Games” in 2011. In just three weeks, the video received six hundred thousand views. On the wave of success, Lana releases the single “Born to Die”, followed by an album with the same name. This music made the artist famous, and she went on tour. The performer devoted the next few years to recording her next album and touring the world.
Then Lana released the disc “Ultraviolence”, which immediately captured the top lines of the world charts. The album sold approximately 900,000 copies worldwide. 2015 began for Del Rey with touring in support of the album. Her opening acts were Courtney Love and Grimes.
But 2015 is notable not only for concert tours, Lana releases a new album, Honeymoon, and becomes an executive producer of the film Hello, How Are You, Daniel Johnston? This film tells about the life of a popular American performer. For this film, Del Rey recorded her cover of one of Johnston's songs.
Present tense
Lana Del Rey, whose biography is constantly connected with music, plans to release a new disc. The singer made a statement that she had already collected enough material and would now like to start recording. The singer promises that the new project will be much more energetic and heavier than previous albums. There are rumors that other guest stars will take part in the recording of this album. In the winter of 2017, the song “Love,” from an unreleased album, was leaked online. But nothing more is known about the new work.
About personal things in life
Lana Del Rey, whose personal life is not particularly publicized, is always more willing to talk about music than about herself. But something is known. Lana Del Rey does not exhaust herself in the gym for the sake of attractive forms (Lana’s height and weight are 54 kg and 170 cm), but prefers an active lifestyle.
At one time, the singer was accused of anti-feminism. But in her interviews, Lana clearly indicated that she is not an anti-feminist, but simply a person far from this issue. Del Rey honestly admitted that she knows too little about this issue to have an opinion on this matter. The only thing is that she is, of course, against various human oppressions.
Now the thirty-year-old singer is single and childless. For a long time she had a romantic relationship with Barry James O'Neill. But the busy touring schedule brought this relationship to naught.
There were many rumors that the scandalous James Franco and Lana Del Rey were together. James has repeatedly spoken glowingly about the singer. One day he wanted to interview her. To which the artist advised him to write his impressions himself. In 2016, the book “Flip-Side: Real and Imaginary Conversations with Lana Del Rey” was published.
