Lara Crokaert (born January 9, 1970), better known as Lara Fabian, is a Belgian-Canadian singer. She has sold over 32 million records worldwide[1][2][3][4][5] 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 passport alongside her original Belgian citizenship.

Early life

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.

Music career

1986–1993: Early music career

During the 1980s, Fabian entered a number of European competitions and won several prizes. She released her first single, "L'Aziza est en pleurs" / "Il y avait" in 1986. Both songs were written by the Belgian composer Marc Lerchs as an homage to Daniel Balavoine.

In 1988, the RTL TV channel in Luxembourg invited Fabian to represent the country at the 33rd Eurovision Song Contest, held that year in Dublin, Ireland. The song was a composition by Jacques Cardona and Alain Garcia entitled Croire (Trust) which reached a respectable fourth place (while Celine Dion won the contest representing Switzerland). The single became a hit in Europe, selling nearly 500,000 copies.

In 1990, Fabian and musical collaborator Rick Allison moved to Montreal, Canada to embark on a career in North America. They started their own music label and publishing company, Productions Clandestines.

In August 1991, the self-titled, French-language, debut album, Lara Fabian, was released in Canada and sold over 100,000 copies. The album went gold in 1993, and platinum the following year. The success of upbeat Dance-pop singles such as "Le jour où tu partira", "Les murs", and "Qui pense à l'amour" gave Fabian the radio exposure she needed. She received several nominations at the 1993 ADISQ awards, and a poll published around that time voted her Québec's most promising singer.

1994–1996: Breakthrough album: Carpe diem

Constant touring in Québec helped Fabian's 1994 album Carpe diem become her breakthrough album. The album went Gold three weeks after its release, and spawned three hit singles: "Tu t'en vas", "Si tu m'aimes", and "Leïla". The following year, the album went Triple Platinum.

The success of Carpe diem was recognized at the 1995 ADISQ gala. Fabian received two Félix awards: Best Show Of The Year and Best Female Singer Of The Year (a category that is voted for by the public).

In 1996, Walt Disney Studios asked Fabian to voice the character of Esmeralda in the French version of the animated feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Disney also included "Que Dieu aide les exclus", Fabian's French version of the song "God Help The Outcasts", on the film's English soundtrack album alongside Bette Midler's version.

Since 1996 Lara Fabian has also held Canadian citizenship alongside her original Belgian passport.

1997–1999: Mainstream international success: Pure and Live

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 over 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.

In February 1998, Fabian received the Discovery of the Year award during the Victoires de la Musique Gala. Also in 1998, Polydor released Carpe diem in Europe, securing her international popularity. In November 1998, she received the Félix Award for Artist with the Most Recognition Outside Quebec at the 'ADISQ Gala'. In December, she was voted Revelation of the Year by Paris Match, which put her on its cover to mark this occasion.

In March 1999, Fabian released her first live album, simply named Live, which debuted at #1 on the French charts. This helped seal an international recording contract with Sony Music. In May 1999, Fabian was honoured at the World Music Awards in Monaco, where she received Best Selling Record for the Year 1998 for her album Pure. In July 1999, with over six million records already sold across Europe, Polydor rereleased Fabian's self-titled debut album.

1999–2001: Extension of success to the US and Latin America: Lara Fabian

In the summer of 1999, Fabian recorded her first English-language album, Lara Fabian, in New York and San Francisco for the Sony label. The songs were written and produced with Rick Allison and Dave Pickell, Walter Afanasieff, Glen Ballard and Patrick Leonard.

The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 'Heatseekers' album chart, reached #1 on the French album chart and #2 on the Belgian album chart. For the Asian version of the album, Fabian collaborated with American-Taiwanese pop star Leehom Wang on the song "Light of My Life".

The dance-pop song "I Will Love Again", her first English single, reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play, and peaked #32 on the Billboard Hot 100, #10 Adult Contemporary, as well as appearing in several international charts. This included the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at #63.[6] The follow-up ballad, "Love By Grace", entered the Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at #24. In February 2001, "Love By Grace" became the theme song of the lead couple in the Brazilian soap opera Laços de Família, broadcast by TV Globo in Brazil and Portugal. For several weeks, the song was number 1 on most Brazilian and Portuguese radio stations. The third single, the dance-pop song "I Am Who I Am", remixed by Hex Hector, became an underground club hit, but did not chart. In Europe, the single "Adagio" charted at #5 on the French singles chart and #3 on the Belgian singles chart.

During this period, Fabian recorded songs for several Hollywood motion picture soundtracks, including "The Dream Within" for the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within soundtrack, and "For Always" for the AI:Artificial Intelligence soundtrack, which contained both a solo version and a duet with Josh Groban.

2001–2003: O Canada 2001 and return to French roots: Nue, Live 2002 and En toute intimité

Nue (Naked), Fabian's fourth French album, was released in the Fall of 2001 in both Québec and France. Nue is a documentation of her emotional ride in the preceding few years caused by the success of the previous album, and as such is more vulnerable and fragile. The album reached #1 in Belgium and #2 in France but had little impact in Québec. The album was also released in Portugal and reached the top 10 on the album charts during the Fall of 2001.

The first single, released in the summer of 2001, was the anthem "J'y crois encore" was a top 20 French hit. Other singles followed, including Fabian's personal favourite "Immortelle", "Aimer Déjà" and in 2002 "Tu es mon autre" (a duet with fellow Belgian, Maurane which was nominated for song of the year and reached the top 5 in France).

Also in 2001, she collaborated with David Foster and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra to record the Canadian national anthem, O Canada, in an English version, a French version, and a bilingual (French/English) version, for a promotion of the Government of Canada.

In 2002, Fabian contributed to the World Soccer Championship CD release, with the song World at Your Feet written and produced by Gary Barlow.

Towards the end of 2002, Fabian released her second live album, Live 2002, from her latest tour, together with a DVD showcasing concerts recorded in December 2001 in Belgium at the Forest National and at Le Zénith in Paris.

Her 2003 stint at the Casino de Paris every Monday night consisted of intimate concerts which were released as a live CD and DVD at the end of 2003, under the title En toute intimité.

2004: Second English language release: A Wonderful Life

In 2004, Fabian released her second English album, A Wonderful Life.

The project was commercially unsuccessful but critically praised. The more organic sound on the album is attributed to the work of French guitarist Jean-Félix Lalanne, and producers such as Desmond Child, Anders Bagge and the British team True North (composed of Take That singer Gary Barlow and Elliot John Kennedy). The centrepiece, "Review My Kisses", written by Desmond Child, was first recorded by LeAnn Rimes in 2002 for her album Twisted Angel.

The first single released for radio was "The Last Goodbye" in the US and most other countries (except France). In France the song "No Big Deal" was the first single. Neither of the songs achieved success and the album was not promoted; and its release was cancelled in the United States.

In Brazil, the song "I Guess I Loved You" achieved moderate success when included on a soap opera entitled "O Clone," one of Brazil's most internationally famous television series'. The song also gained some popularity in Portugal, for the same reason, though it was never officially released or promoted.

2005–2006: A new musical direction: 9 and Un Regard 9

After a sabbatical in 2004, Fabian returned to the music scene spring of 2005 with her fifth French album, 9. It marked a different direction in Fabian's musical and personal life. The album is performed differently, with smoothness, serenity and with a lot of joy, far from the in-depth and dramatic vibes of earlier recordings.

9 yielded the hit single "La Lettre", a song co-written with her new partner, Jean-Félix Lalanne, with whom she produced the album's 11 tracks. Other singles released included "Ne lui parlez plus d'elle", "Un Ave Maria", "Il ne manquait que toi" and the gospel-infused "L'homme qui n'avait pas de maison".

In October 2006, Fabian released a CD and DVD of this associated tour, both titled Un regard 9 Live and recorded during the concert of March 29, 2006 at Le Zénith in Paris. The CD presents 15 live performances plus a brand new song, "Aime", recorded in a studio in Montreal.

2006–2007: An Italian collaboration and live concerts in Europe

Fabian's next studio album was to be her first Italian-language project, and in June 2007 she worked in Rome and Los Angeles to record sessions for it. No further details have been revealed.

In the meantime, the single "Un Cuore Malato" (with Gigi D'Alessio) reached the top of the Italian charts and #16 in France.

In Los Angeles, Fabian worked with Dave Stewart on a "multilingual" album, reputed to include songs in English, Spanish, French, Italian and a few other languages. This album is expected to be released in late 2008.

Also in 2007, Fabian was in Québec to perform a two night concert at the Olympia de Montreal. On October 14, 2007, Fabian was a surprise guest at the only concert Gigi D'Alessio gave in France at the Olympia in Paris, just a few days before the birth of her daughter.

2009: Return to the music scene: Toutes les femmes en moi

A few months after her daughter's birth in 2007, Fabian carried out a tour of Ukraine, Russia and Greece. She also made a few TV appearances (such as 60th Anniversary of Israel where Fabian performed a Hebrew song and duetted with Israeli singer Noa).

During 2008, Fabian was in Belgium preparing to record a French album with pianist Mark Herskowitz, who had composed and arranged the hidden instrumental track featured on the 2001 album Nue. The album was partly recorded in Montreal, Canada. The album, Toutes les femmes en moi, was released on May 26, 2009.

The first single, Soleil, Soleil, is a cover of the Nana Mouskouri song. The second single was Toutes les Femmes en moi, the only original song on the album.

2010: "Tour Les Femmes Font Leur Show", Mademoiselle Zhivago

Throughout the first half of 2010, Fabian embarked on a European tour of concerts, especially throughout France, Switzerland, and Belgium, incorporating the main repertoire of her last album "Toutes Les Femmes En Moi" along with some classic and fan favourites. She also had the chance of once again performing in Eastern Europe, with a more acoustic set (piano-voice). This time also included English recordings from the album Every Woman in Me. In September 2010, she finally released her 2009 album "Toutes Les Femmes En Moi" in Québec, following a week of promotion. She also recorded the album "Nuit Magique" with Canadian singer Coral Egan.

Later in 2010, Fabian released a concept album in Russia and Ukraine called Mademoiselle Zhivago. It features 11 songs in different languages by Russian composer Igor Krutoy. Mademoiselle Zhivago tells the story of a woman who crosses different lives over the years and centuries, having a special personal bond to Fabian's origins and family. The whole project is not only musical, but also cinematographic; all 11 songs were shot with distinct videos, creating one big film, produced and directed by Ukrainian film producer Alan Badoev. The album itself, containing a CD and a DVD, was first released in Ukraine on October 25, 2010 and in Russia on November 19, 2010. An international release date is yet to be confirmed.

The whole set of songs composed by Fabian with Igor Krutoy is in English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian. She first introduced one of these songs in 2009 during the New Wave Festival in Latvia, performing "Demain n'existe pas". Later, in 2010, she returned to that same stage performing new songs from the already finalized project. She has been promoting this project in both countries both on television and by performing a series of concerts presenting the new songs live to the eastern European public. Ever since she has established herself as a huge superstar in Russia and the Ukraine. Fabian was a guest performer on show of October 30 of the Ukrainian X Factor, singing "Mademoiselle Hyde" and "Demain N'Existe Pas", taken from the album and also her longtime classic "Adagio".

In 2012 she sang "Ma Solitude", a duet with Greek singer George Perris, on his album Un Souhait.

2013: "Deux ils, Deux elles" and "Le Secret"

Fabian released her new album Le Secret on April 15, 2013, which consists of 17 brand new songs. On the same day of the album release she showcased her new songs at the Théâtre de Paris. Her first single is "Deux ils, Deux elles", released February 20, 2013. The song talks about the love between two men and two women, speaks about tolerance and acceptance of the LGBT community – just like her previous song "La Différence".

2014: "Make Me Yours Tonight" / "Al Götür Beni"

In August 2014, Fabian released a duet with Turkish Artist Mustafa Ceceli. The title, "Make Me Yours Tonight" written by Anthony James and Yiorgos Bellapaisiotis was released as an EP in English and Turkish versions ("Al Götür Beni"), as well as in additional "acoustic" versions. Her first cooperation with Belgian-US label Odacity Records, the single reached the position 1 in physical single sales in Turkey, and position 2 in digital sales. Several remix versions of "Make Me Yours Tonight" have been released in April 2015, as part of a new "Best of.." album entitled "Selection" (released in 23 countries, and as an EP (released worldwide). The EP reached position 12 in the Dance Album charts of iTunes France, and position 5 in the iTunes Album Charts in Turkey (album "Selection")

2015: Performer at the 65th Sanremo, Essential Lara Fabian and Greatest Hits Tour 2015

On December 14, 2014, during L'Arena, broadcast on the Italian channel Rai 1, presenter Massimo Giletti and guest Carlo Conti revealed[7] the names of the new performers at the 65th Sanremo Music Festival. Fabian was announced as being one of the 20 singers in the "Big" (main) category. It was the second time she has appeared on the Ariston stage (since her guest featuring in 2007 with Gigi D'Alessio) and the first time ever as a solo competitor. In several interviews, she stated:

IT: È una grande emozione perché io ho sempre voluto cantare nella lingua di mia madre [...] Questo Festival lo voglio dedicare proprio alla mia mamma: so che sarà fiera di vedermi su quel palco ricordando i momenti in cui ci siedevamo tutti insieme davanti allo schermo per guardare Sanremo[8]
EN: This is very moving for me as I always wanted to sing in my mother's language [...] Indeed, I want to dedicate this Festival to my mum: I know she'll be proud to see me on that stage remembering the moments when we all sat together in front of the screen to watch Sanremo

About the song she decided to submit, Fabian stated:

IT: Un inno alla leggerezza, all'entusiasmo. Non parla di amore, ho scelto questo come momento di trasmissione. Voce per chi voce non ne ha, per dare un senso a questo tempo. E' prenderla se lo vuoi per trasmettere entusiasmo e felicità[9]
EN: A hymn to lightness, to enthusiasm. It isn't about love, i chose this as a moment of transmission. Voice for those who have no voice, to give a meaning to this time.Take it if you want, to spread enthusiasm and happiness

On the evening show on February 10, 2015, Fabian performed her new single "Voce" for the Italian market.[10] It is to be included in a new greatest hits album, Essential Lara Fabian, specifically released in the country by Warner Italy.[11]

On the evening of February 12, 2015, a visibly moved Fabian sang on the same stage "Sto male",[12] Ornella Vanoni's Italian version[13] of her already popular rendition of "Je Suis Malade". This was the night of the Sanremo sub-competition for cover versions; she eventually lost to Nek and his "Se telefonando" formerly popularized by Mina.

On the evening of February 13 she performed "Voce",[14] once more, before losing the entire competition.[15] She was already pending since the premiere.[16] The day after, February 14, on her official Facebook page, a new post was entered displaying an article from the local San Remo Festival publication (written by Erika Cannoletta) which goes by the title "Farewell to foreigners at Sanremo". It basically shows how a lack of meritocracy and possibly some obscure political issues backstage could be among the reasons that led to the elimination of the artist. It further suggests that all this could be harmful to any attempt to attract foreign artists to the Festival itself.[17] Even before this, the Italian audience and press were generally rather cold towards Fabian, especially in relation to her fame in the country. In a fairly scathing and controversial article titled "Sanremo 2015, who is Lara Fabian? The international star whom nobody ever heard of",[18] writer and music critic Michele Monina (of Il Fatto Quotidiano) ultimately questioned the actual fame, career and quality of the singer, generating a heated debate on its lower comment section.

On February 15 she performed one last time on Domenica In, Rai 1, finally receiving an unexpected standing ovation (much to the singer's surprise)[1]. That evening she posted a trilingual message on her personal Facebook page, addressing some possible issues occurring backstage throughout her Italian experience in the previous week [2]. It reads:

FR: Chers Tous, La poussière est retombée et ce matin, je me suis réveillée à nouveau devant ce paysage splendide... dans ce pays splendide, parmi ces gens splendides... Ce qui s'est passé à Sanremo reste à San Remo... et n'est applicable à rien d'autre. Quand on participe à ce genre de manifestations, il faut accepter les règles d’une compétition, et saluer le gagnant avec respect en se souvenant que le choix du public est souverain. Bravo il Volo, ils sont magnifiques! Pour moi cela ne change absolument rien, ni à mon parcours, ni à l'amour que j'ai pour l'Italie, et encore moins au désir que j'ai d'y revenir plus encore que jamais... Pour partager ma musique, pour faire des concerts et mélanger nos passions... Je suis italienne pour moitié, ce sang coule dans mes veines, colore mon âme... et mon quotidien. Cela me blesse d'entendre certains propos...Des propos qui créent l'amalgame et les catégorisations hâtives... Il faut dissocier les choses, rien n'est tout à fait blanc ou tout à fait noir. Et ce NULLE PART ici-bas... Le monde est en marche (lente) vers de nouveaux horizons... J'ose croire meilleurs... et la musique est un de ses grands espoirs... Ne laissons pas nos amertumes et nos croyances éteindre nos espoirs. Ne laissons pas les mots de certains et la "traduction "que nous en faisons atteindre nos cœurs déjà trop bousculés... Je ne suis rien qu'une simple artiste. Je n'ai aucun autre objectif que celui de partager et communiquer au travers de mon art, mon indéfectible espoir en la vie, en nous... ici ou ailleurs. "Voce" est née en Italie, créée par des italiens, chantée en italien, par une "demi italienne"... J'en suis TELLEMENT fière... Dans ce pays, des millions de gens se battent tous les jours pour créer de meilleures conditions de vie. Les alourdir ou les responsabiliser pour ce qu'ils ne maitrisent pas, en utilisant un élément décalé, est une injustice. Pour moi, il faut laisser ces polémiques inutiles à ceux qui s'en nourrissent... et se souvenir de ce que sommes, de ce qui nous lie dans l'invisible et fait de nous une seule et même chose. “Voce”... en toute humilité est porteuse de cette croyance... "Voce per chi Voce non ne ha, per dare un senso a questo tempo, io canto !!!" Vi voglio bene Italiani miei… E tutti voi,CHE mi sostenete a traverso il mondo…! Grazie di cuore per questa ovazione oggi sul palco del ariston! Fu un grande e bel regalo prima di andare... a presto!!! Je vous aime. Lara.
EN: Dear All, The dust fell off and this morning I woke up again in front of this beautiful landscape... this splendid country, among these wonderful people... What happens in Sanremo stays in Sanremo ... and doesn’t apply to anything else. When we take part in such events, we must accept the rules of a competition, and congratulate the winner respectfully remembering that the public's choice is the only one that matters. Well done il Volo, you are wonderful! For me it doesn’t change anything at all, not my background, nor the love I feel for Italy, and even less the desire I have to come back more than ever...To share my music, sing on stage and mix our passions... I'm half Italian, this blood runs in my veins, colors my soul and every day of my life. It hurts me to hear some comments... Comments that create confusion and hasty categorizations... We must separate things, nothing is fully black or white. NOWHERE on earth... The world is moving (slowly) towards new horizons... Better ones, I dare to believe. And music is one of its great hopes... Let's not allow our bitterness and our beliefs to extinguish our hopes. Let's not allow some people's words and the "translation" we make out of them touch our hearts that are already too troubled... I'm nothing but an artist. I have no other purpose than sharing and communicating, through my art, my irrepressible hope in life, in us... here or elsewhere. "Voce" was born in Italy, created by Italians, sung in Italian, by a half-Italian... I’m SO proud of it... In this country, millions of people are fighting every day to create better living conditions. It is unfair to burden them or blame them for what they can not control, a quirk of nature. I think we should abandon these useless polemics with those who take advantage of that... and remember what we are, what links us beneath the skin and makes us one and the same. "Voce", in all humility, is an expression of this belief... "Voce per chi voce non ne ha, per dare un senso a questo tempo, io canto!!!" Vi voglio bene Italiani miei… E tutti voi, CHE mi sostenete a traverso il mondo…! Grazie di cuore per questa ovazione oggi sul palco del ariston! Fu un grande e bel regalo prima di andare... a presto!!! I Love you. Lara.

Where the final Italian part can be translated as:

"I love you, my Italians... And you all, WHO sustain me through the world...! Heartfelt thanks for that ovation today on the Ariston stage! It has been a nice present before I left... see you soon!!!"

The singer will reprise her tour in support of her new release beginning from Saturday February 21, 2015 by performing at the Nokia Arena, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel.[19]

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.

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.
