Sharon Feinstein

Lara was born with her hands up in the air, reaching for something, the stars maybe. Now she’s 21 and wants to live the dream, and don’t we all, secretly. Two years at uni studying music and she decided she had to get out there and break into the music industry before she was too ‘ old ‘. I’m not sure where that leaves the rest of us, mind you. But moving on, last night she did something pretty damn courageous and I have to commend her all the way from London to Toronto.
It was midnight, she was in bed after a hard day, and the phone rang. At last, it was the well-known music producer she’d been trying to get hold of for days, calling her from the famous Orange Lounge Recording Studios. If you want to sing for me, how about now, he said. She shot out of bed, put in her hair extensions and took a cab downtown. This is the same girl who  used to go bright red and get really nervous when she took to the stage with her little violin to play Bach’s Minuet One, aged four.
The studio was candlelit, cool, sophisticated, with lots of music going on. La, on the spot, had to sing against a background of guitar riffs,  phones ringing, people interrupting, lots of distraction. After all, this is rock ‘n roll, not horlicks and slippers. She did it, she says it went well, she can be very proud of herself. That journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
