Summary
Zara Larsson is having a moment with her hit song, Midnight Summer. So, who better to feature as this week’s Great Moment…
One of pop’s brightest stars, Zara is sweet, magnetic and unapologetically herself. In this Great Moment, she talks about why it’s so important to make music she truly believes in, instead of getting caught up in what everyone else expects.
The BRIT nominee shares how easy it can be to lose yourself when you’re trying to please everyone and why seeing artists like Beyonce reach the top while staying true to who they are, means so much to her.
Whether you’re a creative, a dreamer or just someone trying to figure things out, this one’s for you. Make what YOU love, back yourself and the rest will follow.
