Lara Fabian (born Lara Crokaert January 9, 1970 in Etterbeek, Belgium) is an international French-language singer.

Lara was born to a Flemish father and an 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 comtemporary artists as Barbara Streisand and Queen. During this time, Lara entered a number of European competitions and won several prizes.
