Lana Del Rey’s dad Rob Grant, who turns 70 on Friday, June 16, 2023, is relishing the idea of being ‘Nepo Daddy’ as he prepares to make it big in the music industry. Known for captivating audiences around the world with his smooth voice and unique style, the singer’s father is ready to showcase his talents by continuing his lifelong passion for music.
Rob Grant Breaks Into The Music Industry With Debut Album
Inspired by his daughter — real name Elizabeth Grant who rose to stardom, the 69-year-old is in the spotlight with his debut album “Lost at Sea,” which will be released this Friday. Despite a diverse career background as an advertising copywriter, restaurant owner, boat builder and furniture store owner, Grant’s true passion lies in his love of the ocean.
This passion has influenced his debut album, a collection of 14 piano-based songs mostly featuring instrumental compositions, with some unique collaborations with the 37-year-old.
He revealed to PEOPLE, “When I play the piano, I often drift into an almost hypnotic state,” recalling countless sailing and fishing memories from his Rhode Island childhood.
The “Hollywood Bowl” artist stated that his passion for sailing began at a young age, around 15 years old, when he began to explore on his own and found solace on the water. During this time, he dabbled in playing the piano, unearthing his natural musical abilities without formal training, a skill that remains unknown today.

Grant recalls that while working in the corporate space, he jumped at the chance to work with his cousin and country songwriter, Phil Madeira, in Nashville. After creating a light song titled “Big Bubba”, they pitched it to a publishing company on Nashville’s Music Row but were rejected.
Looking back on the “Don’t Call Me Angel” singer’s career, she expressed immense pride in her accomplishments, stating, “I’m so proud.” As he made his mark in the music industry, she observed his journey from a supportive and protective position, noting how “he survived and continued to make music. He held on to his unique aesthetic.”
By 2021, Del Ray had created his album “Blue Banisters,” Grant’s musical talent came to the fore after he heard his piano improvisation sessions. In no time, they had created the album’s final song, “Sweet Carolina.”
After announcing his album in February, Grant received attention online from fans who affectionately dubbed him “Nepo Daddy,” in recognition of his daughter’s existing musical success.
Embracing the playful nickname, the entrepreneur humorously says, “I thought, ‘Oh, s—, that’s great. I need to get that domain.’ I want to make merchandise. I want to create a brand around this.”
Grant proudly accepts his new title, welcoming the various nicknames his supporters have bestowed upon him, including “Robster, Daddy Del Rey, Papa Del Rey, Lobster Lobster, and now Nepo Daddy.”

Although she’s taking a break from live performances, the “Young and Beautiful” singer has appeared on late-night talk shows and accepted prestigious awards, including the 2023 Billboard Women in Music Visionary Award.
During his acceptance speech, he said, “I don’t have a long-term vision at all, but if you want to know, I’m very happy. THE WATERS WERE NOT QUITE WARM when I released my first album 14 years ago. I’m happy for everyone who feels it’s a wonderful time in the culture to be themselves and express themselves. It didn’t feel like that in 2008.”
