Lana Del Rey

Noted for her stylized, glamor, and cinematic quality of music, Lana Del Rey made her breakthrough with the debut single Video Games in 2011, a viral success. That same year, she signed with Interscope and Polydor and released her major-label debut in 2012, Born to Die, and achieved international success with singles like Summertime Sadness, Blue Jeans, and Born to Die. With combined talents and knowledge, a degree in philosophy, Rey has created many of today’s hits, taking inspiration from several people.

Speaking of people for her inspiration, some of their names ended up inked on the artist’s body part. On her left hand, a tattoo of the letter “M” serves as a representation of the first initial of her grandmother’s name, Madeleine. Also, the name Nabokov Whitman is on her right arm, two writers whose work greatly influenced the singer’s songs, Vladimir Nabokov and Walt Whitman.
