Being daughter I am makes the pressure greater, says singer Lara Silva, heiress of Faustão

Despite singing since he was 14, Lara Silva was still not sure that the way in music was what she should follow. Shy, it was more than ten years to take courage and sing for the first time in public, something that until then only did in private classes with few people.

Not only that, there was still all the weight of having as Father Fausto Silva, one of the greatest TV presenters and icons of all time. But she considers the time to come.

“There was a time when I was finishing college, working at audiovisual and it was an accumulation of certainties that if I didn’t do that [cantar]I would regret for the rest of my life. I prepared myself studying very vocally, piano … and I love composing. You can’t hide forever, you need to have the courage to expose yourself with your mistakes and vulnerabilities, “he says.

Lara Silva, whose stage name is just Lara, is 27 years old and is the daughter of Faustão with the artist and former model Magda Colares. His brothers, João Guilherme and Rodrigo, are from his father’s marriage to journalist Luciana Cardoso. She says that the whole family has supported her right now.

“My father gave me a lot of advice and told me not to take both the criticism and the compliments very seriously. He always told me that because he is the daughter of whom I am, everything in life has his good and bad side. Despite the affection of the public And visibility, the pressure is greater, “he says.

In 2023, Lara showed the public “Faíscas”, an EP (disk with up to six tracks) on digital platforms. However, the future project of unpublished, whose name and date still follow in secret – but will happen soon – represents the official release of the artist as a national pop singer, with programming for shows throughout Brazil and more TV appearances .

“I feel that I developed absurdly as an artist and that I gained a confidence to write my own songs. A long work, an extensive process provoked by many changes in my personal life. I recovered a sense of self -confidence I had lost,” he comments.

Lara says she is not very linked to a specific segment, but that pop gives her freedom to explore different genres and aesthetics. “I don’t feel limited,” he says.

With her short career, she had few television appearances as a singer. The last and most commented was on Domingão with Huck, when he duet with his friend Simone in December last year.

“TV requires a speed that I am acquiring. You need to impose yourself, be in control of that situation and I feel a certain nervousness. I still can’t show my personality in full, but that really requires time and patience. I have a lot of gratitude For having this visibility, so I want to give my best. “

From now on, she says she would like to partner with important names in music like Seu Jorge, Marina Sena and Duda Beat. It also wants to sing at festivals to have more and more contact with the public. “I have a lot of dreams.”
