Lara George was born in Lagos, Nigeria as the fourth of five children to Mr. and Mrs. Oluwole Bajomo. She began her musical journey in her alma mater school choir- Queens’ College Yaba Lagos- where she was first given the opportunity to take a lead role in a song. Years later, Lara has transformed into the professional whose inspirational style of delivery has helped define the new sound and direction of Nigerian music. While studying Architecture at the University of Lagos Akoka, Lara joined the fellowship music team on campus, where she met Ty, Emem, and Dapo. The bond tightened, and further yielded the group KUSH.

 

 

 

The influence of western and homeland tunes in their upbeat sound overwhelmed the populace, grew their fan base, and earned them huge accolades and achievements. The group, however, eventually split up. In spite of all the challenges encountered in the music industry and after a 2-yr break from the scene. Lara re-launched her music career with a solo debut Album titled ‘Forever In My heart’ with Hit Single “Ijoba Orun’.

 

 

 

The much-celebrated album earned Lara several nominations and awards such as ‘Voice of the Year 2008’ Nigeria Music Awards, as well as ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Female Artiste of the Year’, Nigeria Gospel Music Awards 2009. As a singer, Lara’s music inspires all who listen to it. Her soulful music has inspired and changed a great number of lives.

 

 

 

In 2012, while pregnant with her second child, Lara George went on to release her 3rd solo album titled 'HIGHER- THE DANSAKI ALBUM.' Although this album was released without any fanfare, the song 'Dansaki' became an instant hit, closely followed by other tracks like ‘Higher’, 'A Yin O', 'A New Day' and 'We Praise You.' The entire album is a testament to God's ability to make better all things of which He is a part.
