A classically-trained soprano, Lara lights up the stage with her natural talent and unassuming charm. Her versatility as an artist allows her to transition effortlessly from singing opera and Kundiman to dazzling audiences with her renditions of jazz standards, OPM, as well as her own original compositions. Under the management of Alcasid Total Entertainment Artist Management (ATeam), she has performed as special guest in the concerts of Ogie Alcasid, Gary Valenciano and Noel Cabangon. Since 2010, Lara has promoted Filipino music in different parts of the world with solo cultural concerts in Florence, Italy; Canberra and Sydney, Australia; Singapore and New Delhi, India.

A budding composer, Lara’s words and melodies translate into honest prose with her telling of how emotions and the human experience intertwine.
In 2015, Lara was one of the top 12 finalists in the song writing competition headed by Ryan Cayabyab and Manny V. Pangilinan, the Philippine Popular Music Festival (Philpop), with her entry, “Nasaan.” Prior to that Lara has written teleserye and movie theme songs interpreted by the country’s premier recording artists—Erik Santos, Jaya, and Asia’s Songbird, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid.

Her foray into song writing came in 2013, where she became one of the top five finalists in Philpop for her composition, “Sa’yo Na Lang Ako,” interpreted by singer/actress Karylle. She later on tried her hand at acting and became one of the lead stars in the musical teleserye on TV5, “Trenderas,”where she was nominated for “Outstanding Breakthrough Performance by an Actress” by the Golden Screen TV Awards.

Lara was born to composer/arranger, Prof. Rayben Maigue, and soprano, Nanette Moscardon- Maigue, who would become her first classical mentor. She is currently being trained by Fides Cuyugan-Asensio at the University of the Philippines College of Music, where she graduated majoring in Voice. She divides her time as an artist and as managing partner and vocal coach in her family’s music school, the Maigue Music Studios (MMS).
