Biography

---

Lara was born to a Flemish father and a Sicilian mother. Lara's name comes from her parents' inspiration of the theme song of the film Doctor Zhivago. Lara began singing, dancing, and taking piano lessons at a very young age and began formal music lessons at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels at age eight. Lara began writing and performing her own songs during her ten years study at the conservatory. Lara's songs were greatly influenced as much by her classical vocal and music theory training as contemporary artists as Barbra Streisand and Queen. During this time, Lara entered a number of European competitions and won several prizes.

Upon finishing her studies, Lara traveled to Quebec to promote her song "Je sais" and fell in love with the city. With two suitcases and $1,000 in her pocket, she decided to embark on a career in North America. Lara moved to Montreal, Quebec and began her own music label and publishing company, Productions Clandestines. Collaborator/producer Rick Allison, an old friend from Brussels (Belgium), joined her in Montreal and the pair worked steadily on writing and recording songs. One of Lara's first successes was at the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest where she represented Luxembourg with the song "Croire", which finished fourth. Lara still performs "Croire" live today.
