Lara's Music Journey

Starting with Nan Quan Mama

Lara Veronin was born in California, United States, in 1988. In 2001, she moved to Taipei, Taiwan, with her family. She loved music from a young age and was part of many music groups.

In 2005, a famous Taiwanese pop star named Jay Chou discovered Lara. She became the main female singer for his band, "Nan Quan Mama". That same year, Lara became very famous when she sang a duet with Jay Chou called "Coral Sea" (pinyin: Shān Hú Hǎi). In the band, Lara not only sang but also helped write songs and lyrics. She often worked with her bandmate Chase Chang.

Lara also started acting during this time. She starred in the Taiwanese TV show Engagement for Love in 2006. Later, she was the main actress in the 2012 drama series "Alice in Wonder City".

Her Solo Career Begins

In 2009, Lara left Nan Quan Mama to start her own music career. She joined Jay Chou's record label, JVR Music. On December 6, 2010, she released her first solo album, "Hello Lara Liang" (Chinese: 《Hello 梁心頤》).

Lara released her second solo album, "Free Spirit" (Chinese: 《自由靈魂》), on October 29, 2012. For this album, she was very involved in creating the music. She helped with composing, producing, and even the style and marketing of the album. Her second album had 11 songs, and she even worked with her old bandmate Chase on a song called "Fragments".

The independent multimedia firm started by Lara and sister Esther Veronin

Creating Meimeiwawa Multimedia

In 2013, Lara decided to leave JVR Music. She started her own company called Meimeiwawa Multimedia (pinyin: mèimèiwáwá dūoméitǐ) with her older sister, Esther Veronin. This company is Lara's record label and also helps other artists. It's also a creative place where they make music, entertainment, and other cool content.

Over the years, the company has made many videos, like short films, vlogs, and a fun web series called "Meiwa Diaries". Lara even helped write a micro movie called "TAWKI: Taipei As We Know It" and played the main character. The sisters have made several short films where Lara is the lead actress. One film, "She Wore Red", won an award for Best Cinematography in 2015.

In 2015, Lara released her first song under her new company, called "Dida". The music video for "Dida" was filmed in Taipei. This song also helped the Red Cross Society of the Republic of China, as profits from special physical albums went to donations.

More of Lara's songs were released by Meiwa Media:

• 2016: "Where Do We Go"
• 2017: "Play/Turn"
• 2017: "Sunshine"

In 2018, Lara and Esther made Lara's third solo album, "Thousand-Faced Beast," into a feature-length film called "Tomorrow's Star." Lara was the main actress in this movie. The film included all eight songs from the album, like a musical.
