Born in Brussels, Lara, whose surname is not Fabian yet, but Crokaert, spends the first five years of her life in Italy, at the foot of Mount Etna. Once she returned to the capital of Europe, her father (who is also Petula Clark’s guitarist) and her Sicilian mother immediately suggested she took singing lessons.

On 6 December 1978, Saint Nicholas Day, Lara received a piano from her parents - a gift marked by destiny.

Her newest album, Lara’s 12th, titled Ma vie dans la tienne, was released by Warner Music in November 2015 and she is still on the tour.
