LORDE
Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor (born 7 November 1996), known by her stage name Lorde (/ˈlɔrd/), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter. Born in Takapuna and raised in Devonport, Auckland, she performed in various singing and drama classes as a child, and at the age of thirteen signed with Universal. Yelich-O’Connor adopted her stage name due to her fascination with “royals and aristocracy”, but felt the name Lord was too masculine so added an ‘e’ to make it more feminine.
Her musical debut was an EP, entitled The Love Club, which was released in November 2012, and her first single, “Royals”, debuted at number one on the New Zealand Top 40, and also reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2013, making her the first New Zealand solo artist to have a number one song in the United States. Her debut album, Pure Heroine, was released in September 2013, receiving critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide.
Her work has earned her numerous awards and accolades. In October 2013, she jointly won the 2013 Silver Scroll award for “Royals,” which celebrates outstanding songwriting achievements in original New Zealand pop music. For the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, Lorde received four nominations, in which she won Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Royals.”. In February 2014 she was chosen International Female Solo Artist at the BRIT Awards.

LORDE: THE MUSIC PHENOMENON OF THE YEAR IN VOGUE
As the youngest artist to top the U.S. charts in 25 years, Lorde has the world at her feet. But those feet, it would seem, are well and truly on the ground.
In the new issue of Vogue, the New Zealand-born 17-year-old – who is pictured in a beaded Miu Miu dress and floral coronet – discusses her stratospheric rise to fame, and how her new life has been a coming of age, of sorts.
‘I had been in [the Auckland suburbs] my whole life that I had ached to get out of,’ she said. ‘I had wanted to live in a city. And then I had this experience of traveling and being in the biggest cities in the world.
