Early Life and Education

Lara Fabian was born Lara Crokaert on January 9, 1970, in Etterbeek, Belgium as the only child of Flemish father Pierre and Sicilian mother Maria. She was raised in both Ruisbroek, Belgium and Catania, Italy, and spoke Italian as her first language. Fabian was educated at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels starting from the age of eight.

Career Beginnings

In the 1980s, Fabian competed in various European singing competitions and won many prizes. She released her first single in 1986, and in 1988 she represented Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest, where she sang the future hit "Croire." At the start of the 1990s, Fabian moved with her musical collaborator Rick Allison to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where they established the record label Productions Clandestines. Fabian subsequently released her self-titled debut album in 1991.

Commercial Breakthroughs

After touring frequently throughout Quebec for a few years, Fabian had her commercial breakthrough with her 1994 album "Carpe diem." A hit in Quebec, France, and Belgium, it eventually went double platinum in Canada. Fabian had even greater success with her next album, 1997's "Pure," which went platinum in less than two weeks and spawned the French-language hit singles "Tout," "Humana," and "Je t'aime." She concluded the decade and began the new millennium by breaking out internationally with her second self-titled album, and her first in English. Released in late 1999 in France and worldwide in 2000, the album charted in the United States, Finland, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, in addition to its high placements on the French and Belgian charts. Moreover, the album launched the popular dance-pop track "I Will Love Again," Fabian's first English-language single and a hit around the globe.

Further Albums and Singles

Following the huge success of her first English-language album, Fabian resumed recording in French, and had a hit in Belgium and France with her 2001 album "Nue." Successful singles from the album included "Immortelle" and "Tu es mon autre," the latter a duet with fellow Belgian singer Maurane. Fabian went on to release her second English-language album, "A Wonderful Life," in 2004; it was ultimately unable to reach the commercial heights of its predecessor. She subsequently recorded the French-language album "9," which was a success in Belgium, France, and Quebec in 2005. Fabian's next album, "Toutes les femmes en moi," didn't come out until 2009; it was a number-one hit in Belgium.

Following the commercial disappointment of her album "Every Woman in Me" and the release of her multilingual concept album "Mademoiselle Zhivago," Fabian released the 2013 album "Le Secret," which reached number one in Belgium and France. That was followed in 2015 by "Ma vie dans la tienne," another solid hit. In 2017, Fabian released the English-language album "Camouflage," featuring the single "Growing Wings." Her next studio album, "Papillon," came out in 2019. At the end of the following year, Fabian self-released 12 experimental tracks under the title "Lockdown Sessions," which she had recorded during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
