Sophomore Lara Mrgic has been singing since she was three years old. She performed in front of a live audience for the first time, other than her family, in the fifth grade during Parkmont Elementary’s school talent show. For Mrgic, singing in school talent shows is just the beginning. Three weeks ago, she started to take vocal lessons, and this summer she will audition for American Idol.
“I think I have a chance. It is exactly what I want to do, and can get me exactly where I want to go,” Mrgic said.
Mrgic is currently working on a plan to get a record deal. She also has a Youtube account, and has started gaining attention.
Singing comes naturally to Mrgic, and it has always been her passion.
“It makes me feel better. It is just what I love to do,” Mrgic said.
She comes from a musical family. Her late grandfather played the harmonica and the guitar. Mrgic also knows how to play the guitar and piano.
“I am blessed to have a family that supports me and what I want to do,” Mrgic said.
Mrgic performs mostly country music. Her favorite artists include Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift. Her inspirations are Taylor Swift and Sugarland.
Mrgic also writes her own songs using lyrics that she has written down in the book she carries around with her. Her songs come from personal experiences, such as love and problems that her friends have.
Mrgic tends to sing solo, but sometimes she sings with her friend, who also plays the guitar. She is interested in seeing what it is like to play with a band.
“I hope that [people] hear it and it is relatable. It describes me,” Mrgic said.
