In an interview with The Quietus, Lana Del Rey spoke about the opinions of the difference between the two lives she lives, “Lana and Lizzy are the same person - I wish I could escape into some alter ego, just so I could feel more comfortable on stage, but I feel the same as Lana as I do Lizzy.” As for the claim of her father’s aid, from wealth to fame, those who are born into it most likely do not have to work as hard as someone who comes from nothing. While I saw Lizzy Grant as a strong stage name in itself, there is also the argument of personal reinvention especially coming from a young woman who is discovering herself, and yet, Lana seems to hold onto saying that becoming Lana Del Rey did not change the former Lizzy Grant. For example, Rihanna’s birth name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, Lorde’s birth name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, and Frank Ocean’s birth name is Christopher Edwin Breaux. Hate to break it to you, but the majority of celebrities do not go by their birth name but rather opt for a short, punk name that management knew would sell. With Lana’s recent problematic tendencies aside (will address later in the article), many people found an issue with her name change and found that it was a calculated move for record sales and fame.

Even though, at the time, Lizzy’s one and only album fell through enough to nearly erase the existence of that once stage character, it’s astounding to see that after the success as Lana Del Rey, fans as I am, are now envying the underground tone of Lizzy Grant. Watching as she falls into her own skin, finding her way in front of faces whose ears listen and eyes watch on, honestly makes you better understand the reasoning of the same young Lizzy’s mistakes under the name Lana Del Rey. Watching the footage back, it’s like the Lana Del Rey we know is there, but instead, it’s Lizzy Grant, a young woman who is in the first stages of discovering who she is. Even with the vast deletion, there are small glances of the once Lizzy Grant, for example, this video from 2009 showing the blonde star performing at The Variety Box in New York. My music was always kind of cinematic, so they wanted a name that reflected the glamour of the sound.” In fact, most of the existence of the Lizzy Grant singer was erased and forgotten from the internet, which has people considering this new persona was all planned and bought out by her millionaire father.

“Lana Del Rey came from a series of managers and lawyers over the last five years who wanted a name that they thought better fit the sound of my music. In an interview with Repeat Fanzine, Lana further explained that the choice of name was chosen by management as opposed to the general public’s opinion that it had been her choice. With the failure that was her stage name “Lizzy Grant,” her new management changed her persona to Lana Del Rey, which would become her ultimate price of success.
Lizzy Grant’ but the acceptance of her lyrics and unsurfaced fandom was nothing but a fluke. In 2010, Lizzy Grant released her first album ‘Lana Del Ray A.K.A. In 2006, she recorded her first album ‘Sirens’ under the name “May Jailer,” but was unreleased until it was leaked on YouTube in 2012.
