Born 1977 in Novi Sad. As a child, he spontaneously showed his talent singing in his neighborhood. That’s when he was spotted by eminent music experts who then shaped his musicality at the prestigious music school “Isidor Bajić” where he finished high school in the instrumental department for accordion, and then went on to the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, where he developed his skills in playing the piano, solfeggio, conducting, arranging and composition.

A composer and an instrumentalist specializing in keyboard instruments, Lazar boasts a vast number of performances and collaborations with various bands as well as working on about twenty studio albums, and making a contribution to theatre and film music.

Diplomirala je, Magna cum laude, 2013. na Odseku za izvođače ovog svetski uvažavanog koledža za savremenu muziku.Tokom godina i školovanja gradila je sopstveni muzički izraz kroz učenje i studiozno profesionalno uobličavanje: usavršavala se sarađujući sa priznatim umetnicima i muzičarima kao što su Ljubiša Jovanović, Matt Marvuglio, Fernando Brandao, Scott Free,Mitch Haupers i mnogi drugi.Imala je priliku da se upozna i sarađuje sa svetski priznatim umetnicima kao što su Danilo Perez, Marco Pignataro, John Patitucci, Joe Lovano, Gerorge Garzone, Terri Lyne Carringon, Dave Liebman, Brian Blade…
Odlazak u Boston i studije na Berkli muzičkom koledžu pomogao je da, pored velikog zadovoljstva koje joj pruža izvođenje klasične muzike, otkrije nova polja svoje muzičke osećajnosti i izražajnosti – naklonost prema improvizaciji i komponovanju. Tu počinje da stvara i izvodi svoje autorske kompozicije.
