Lorde Biography

Lorde real name Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor is a singer, songwriter and record producer born on 7th November 1996 in Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand. Her hit single ‘Royals’ made her the youngest solo artist to achieve a number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 since 1987.

Lorde chose her stage name because she was fascinated with “royals and aristocracy”. However, she felt the name Lord was too masculine, thus she added an “e” to make it more feminine.

She was raised in the nearby suburb of Devonport, Auckland. At the age of five she joined a drama group and developed public speaking skills. She attended Vauxhall School and then Belmont Intermediate School in her early teens.

Lorde credits her mother as her lyrical influence as she encouraged her to read a range of genres. She also cites the young adult dystopian novel Feed by M.T. Anderson as well as authors J.D. Salinger, Raymond Carver and Janet Frame for influencing her songwriting.

Career

Lorde and musician friend Louis McDonald won the Belmont Intermediate School annual talent show as a duo in May 2009. In 2009 Maclachlan signed her to UMG for development. Lorde was also part of the Belmont Intermediate School band Extreme; the band placed third in the North Shore Battle of the Bands finals at the Bruce Mason Centre, Takapuna, Auckland on 18 November 2009.

In 2010 Lorde and McDonald performed covers live on a regular basis as a duet called “Ella & Louis”, playing at The Leigh Sawmill Cafe on 15 August, at Roasted Addiqtion Cafe in Kingsland on 20 August, at The Vic Unplugged at Victoria Theatre, Devonport on 27 October, and at Devonstock in Devonport on 12 December. While working on her music career, she attended Takapuna Grammar School from 2010 to 2013, completing Year twelve. She later chose not to return in 2014 to finish Year thirteen.

In 2011, UMG hired vocal coach Frances Dickinson to give Lorde singing lessons twice a week for a year. During this time, she began writing songs and was set up with a succession of songwriters, but without success. At the age of fourteen, Lorde started reading short fiction and learned how to “put words together”.

On 16th November 2011 Lorde performed her own original songs publicly for the first time at The Vic Unplugged II on the Devonport Victoria Theatre main stage.

In December 2011, MacLachlan paired Lorde with Joel Little, a songwriter, record producer, and former Goodnight Nurse lead singer. The pair recorded five songs for an EP at Little’s Golden Age Studios in Morningside, Auckland, and finished within three weeks.

In November 2012 she released her EP, The Love Club through her SoundCloud account for free download. In March 2013 UMG commercially released the EP for sales. The EP peaked at number two on the record charts of New Zealand and Australia.
