As of 2015 she lived in Walloon Brabant province in Belgium just outside Brussels.
Fabian is the only child of Pierre Crokaert, who is Flemish, and Luisa (born Fabian), a Sicilian. She spent her first five years in her mother's hometown of Catania in Sicily. After that she moved to Ruisbroek near Brussels, Belgium. Italian was her first language.

She began singing, dancing and taking piano lessons at a young age, and began formal music lessons at age eight. She began writing and performing her own songs during her ten years of formal music study. Fabian's songs were influenced by her classical vocal training and by contemporary artists such as Barbra Streisand and Queen.

She was named Lara after the main character of the novel Doctor Zhivago. Her professional name is a modified spelling of the given name of an uncle, Fabiano.

During her first year in Canada, Fabian was living in Ste Therese on boulevard René À. ROBERTS in a very small apartment.
Fabian is a lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans three octaves from C3 to G♯6 in live performances.

She is multilingual, in fact she speaks French, Spanish, Italian and English. She has also sung in Azerbaijani, German, Greek, Hebrew, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
