Laarni Lozada (born Laarni Losala) is a Filipino pop, ballad, classical, and soul singer. She is the winner of Pinoy Dream Academy (Season 2), Philippine franchise of Endemol's Star Academy garnering more than 100,000 votes over the votes obtained by her closest contender Bugoy Drillon. When she was 15, she left Isulan for Manila. to pursue her education. An aunt from the US supported her in her studies at the School of Music of the Philippine Women's University. However, she decided to shift course from AB Music to BS Education, Major in English, when she realized that most of the music students in the school were from the upper strata of society. She feared that she lacked the eloquence to be part of that kind of milieu. Her musical talent, however, paved the way for her to become a university scholar while working as a student assistant of the school.

She became a runner-up in the now-defunct "Sing Galing" of ABC5. She won the Rotary Club Intercollegiate/University singing contest, besting 25 other contestants from different schools in Manila by rendering the patriotic anthem "Dakilang Lahi". She also won the National Grand Finals of the "Campus Idol" search by her rendition of "What Kind of Fool Am I?"
At 16 years old, Laarni sang at the Calesa Bar, she had the opportunity to get musical pointers from the bar's musical director, Rudy Francisco.
Her musical influences include Celine Dion , Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Charlotte Church , Regine Velasquez, Sheryn Regis, Lea Salonga, Lani Misalucha, Charice Pempengco, Sarah Geronimo , Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera and Jed Madela.
After 13 weeks in the academy, Laarni was hailed the Grand Star Dreamer on September 14, 2008 at the Cuneta Astrodome. At the end of the show's two-night finale, she garnered 651,696 votes (100% of the total votes).
