About Me

Lara's roots are in Georgia, but her songs were born in Los Angeles. As an artist and performer, her style is earthy and natural, inspirational and fun. Lara's music is very lyrically driven, a soulful blend of piano and vocals. She has been deeply involved with music since an early age, and her original songs are an expression of her passion for life. Her "raw, emotive and refreshing sound" has been rapidly winning the hearts of her audience and establishing her as a successful emerging performer.-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
