According to Wikipedia, Lara Crokaert, better known as Lara Fabian, is an Italian-Belgian singer. She has sold over 20 million records worldwide and is the best-selling Belgian female artist of all time.
She was born in Etterbeek, Brussels to a Belgian father and a Sicilian mother. Since 1996 she has also held a Canadian citizenship alongside her original Belgian citizenship.
Fabian is the only child of Pierre Crokaert, who is Flemish, and Maria Luisa Serio, a native of Sicily. She spent her first five years in her mother’s hometown of Catania in Sicily. After that she moved to Ruisbroek near Brussels, Belgium. Italian was her first language.
She began singing, dancing and taking piano lessons at a young age, and began formal music lessons at age eight. She began writing and performing her own songs during her ten years of formal music study. Fabian’s songs were influenced by her classical vocal training and by contemporary artists such as Barbra Streisand and Queen.
She was named Lara after the main character of the novel Doctor Zhivago. Her professional name is a modified spelling of the given name of an uncle, Fabiano.
Fabian has written for other artists such as French female singers Chimène Badi, Nolwenn Leroy and Myriam Abel. She also composed for Daniel Lévi and is said to be currently working with a former contestant from “Nouvelle Star 3”, Roland. She has often praised the voice and talent of successful female singer Amel Bent, who was also a contestant on that show.
She wrote “Dis-moi comment t’aimer” for Greek singer George Perris on his album Un Souhait. “Imaginer” was originally written in English, under the name ‘Broken Vow’, by Fabian and songwriter Walter Afanasieff.
They rewrote the lyrics especially for Jackie Evancho, in French, for her album Dream with Me. The original meaning of the song, about a sad love, is completely changed in the French version to describe a dream of a beautiful world without war or hunger.
Fabian and French singer Patrick Fiori began a relationship at the start of 1998.
She was in a relationship with French director, producer, and composer Gérard Pullicino beginning in 2006, and has a daughter with him.
Fabian married Sicilian musician/artist Gabriel Di Giorgio in 2013.
After the success of Carpe diem, Fabian signed a contract with the French Polydor label for several albums and Pure was released in June 1997.
Pure sold more than two million copies in France; the album went platinum in less than two weeks, and spawned several hit singles: “Tout”, “Je t’aime”, “Humana”, each of which sold more than a million copies, and the anti-homophobia anthem “La Différence”.
The album won a Félix for Popular Album of the Year at the 1997 ADISQ gala and was nominated for two Juno Awards in the Best Selling French Album category, and for Fabian as Best Female Singer.
