Zara Larsson, Swedish singer who performs at Rock in Rio this Sunday (13), began her career long before reaching the big stages. At 10 years old, in 2008, she won Talang, the Swedish version of the Got Talent show, singing songs by Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. In the finale, she performed "My Heart Will Go On," by Celine Dion, and won the prize of 500,000 Swedish kronor.
The performance caught attention in Sweden and the song was released as her first single, reaching seventh place on the country's music chart. The public expected the young singer's career to take off quickly, but what came next was not what she imagined.
In the four years following the show victory, Zara faced difficulties getting a record deal. She came to believe her opportunity had passed and that she might never become a professional singer. The artist revealed that this period was marked by frustration and uncertainty about her future in music.
