Zara Larsson

Zara Maria Larsson is a Swedish singer and songwriter, born on December 16, 1997. She displayed an early passion for music, even receiving an offer to attend the prestigious Adolf Fredrik’s Music School. At the age of 10, she gained fame by winning the 2008 season of Talang, Sweden's version of the Got Talent franchise. Her initial release was a cover of Céline Dion’s "My Heart Will Go On", under the name Zara.

Instead of diving straight into a music career, she delayed releasing additional material until late 2012 with her first original track, “Uncover”, eventually certified 6x Platinum in Sweden. This was followed by her debut EP, Introducing, in January 2013. After signing with the American label Epic Records and supporting Cher Lloyd on a North American tour, she released her second EP later that year. Her debut album, 1, was released in October 2014 exclusively in Scandinavia, featuring “Uncover” along with singles like “Rooftop”, “Carry You Home”, and “She’s Not Me”. A consolidated Uncover EP was released worldwide the following January.

Shortly after the global release of the EP, Zara began developing her next album for worldwide distribution. “Lush Life” initially found success in Scandinavia, later becoming a European hit and reaching the top 3 in the UK. Her collaboration with MNEK, "Never Forget You," was her first UK charting song. In March 2017, So Good was released as her global debut album, featuring previous hits and additional tracks such as “Ain’t My Fault”, “I Would Like” and the UK #1 “Symphony” with Clean Bandit.

Zara spent much of the latter part of 2017 touring for So Good and began work on her third album. The lead single “Ruin My Life” was released in October 2018, although little is known about the album's full details. Since then, singles like “Don’t Worry Bout Me,” “WOW,” and “All the Time” have been released. Fan favorite “Wanna” is also anticipated to be part of the tracklist after being omitted from her previous album.
