Happy birthday, Zara Larsson! To celebrate the singer's special day, let's take a look at her massive success in the music industry, her upbringing, and how she became a singer.
Born Zara Maria Larsson in December 16, 1997, in Solna, Stockholm, in Sweden, the singer is now 26 years old! The musician had a difficult time the moment she was born as she said in a previous interview that she was "dead" for a moment due to lack of oxygen, but she was later saved by doctors.
Music has been a big part of her childhood as some of her earliest inspirations were Carola Häggkvist and Whitney Houston, and it was also her dream to become "immortal" like Elvis Presley.

At the age of 10, Larsson shot to fame when she joined the show "Talang," the equivalent of the "Got Talent" franchise in Sweden. The singer was successful throughout the show as she later won the entire competition.
