Lara Sophie Katy Crokaert (Flemish pronunciation: [ˈlaːraː ˈkroːkaːrt]; born 9 January 1970), known professionally as Lara Fabian (Flemish: [ˈlaːraː ˈfaːbijɑn], French: [laʁa fabjɑ̃], Italian: [ˈlaːra faˈbjan]), is an Italian-Belgian and Canadian singer and songwriter. She has sold over 20 million records worldwide[1][2][3][4][5] and is one of the best-selling Belgian artists of all time.[6]

Born in Belgium to a Belgian father and an Italian mother, she moved to Quebec in 1991 and, since 1995, has held Canadian citizenship alongside her Belgian one.[7] In 2003, she returned to Brussels to be close to her parents in Belgium, and in 2015, she lived in Walloon Brabant province in Belgium, just outside Brussels.[8][9] In 2017, she returned permanently to Montreal, Quebec, to be with her family.[10]
