Lara Louise

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Lara taught herself how to play the guitar, inspired by artists such as Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell. Later, she became influenced by jazz and bossa nova singers like Madeleine Peyroux, Frank Sinatra and Astrud Gilberto, and was particularly drawn to French jazz. All these different influences make for a tasteful variety of classic songs, tied together with her unique style and voice. Her interpretations are simple and pure, with a focus on the feeling and the melody.
