Lana Del Rey is an American singer-songwriter. She began writing songs at the age of 18, and started performing in nightclubs in Brooklyn, New York City. After meeting Van Wilson, an A&R executive for the independent label 5 Points Records, at a songwriting competition, she signed a record deal with the label in 2007, and began working with the producer David Kahne. Together, they composed her debut extended play, Kill Kill, which was released in 2008, and her debut studio album, Lana Del Ray, which was shelved initially, and eventually released in 2010. Three months after the release of Lana Del Ray, Del Rey met her current managers, Ben Mawson and Ed Millett, who helped her break off her contract with 5 Points Records, where, in her opinion, "nothing was happening". Shortly after, she moved to London and lived with Mawson "for a few years".
