Five Minutes With: Montréal Alt-Pop Musician Laraw

Born in Montréal to a family with Morrocan and Lebanese roots, Laraw naturally expresses herself through the universal language of music. Through her unique brand of alternative pop, she embraces authenticity without compromise. Her delicate, slightly rebellious voice sings about the trials and tribulations of the quarter-life crisis, with a spontaneity that’s utterly endearing.

Early bird or night owl?

Early bird, I love sitting on my patio with my coffee in the morning and journaling.

Road or studio?

Both are so different and fun. I love creating in the studio but there’s also something so magical about performing your songs in front of a crowd and connecting with others.
