[1] [2] 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. [3] 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. [2] [4] 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". [5]
