Born in 1984, L'Aura can boast a unique talent as composer, pianist, violinist and singer as well. Her unmistakeable and sweetly powerful voice creates sophisticated atmospheres that enchant for their beauty. In an interview she described herself as: "Multi-functional vacuum-cleaner for sale at cut throat prices capable of producing untrasounds up to whale song standards, great for Hi-Fi stereos and cruise ships equipped for shipping, recommended especially under cloudy skies and on beaches".



After two years spent in San Francisco to perfect her skills L’Aura returns to Italy to record her first record titled Okumuki, sung part in Italian and part in English and can brag about the production work of Enrique Gonzalez Muller (sound engineer from the historic Plant Studios of San Francisco, already working with none other than Jason Newsted from Metallica, Dave Matthews Band, Joan Baez e Joe Satriani).



The release date of the album Okumuki is set for April 22nd 2005 while the single "Radio Star" released April 8th is already a radio hit. The rock video of the song shot on the streets of Los Angeles has been played heavily on MTV and ALL MUSIC, the main Italian TV Channels.

The following CD singles "Today" and "Una Favola" ("A Fairy Tale") make it to the first 50 top selling singles.



During 2005 L'Aura opens for great Italian and International talents, such as Lenny Kravitz, The Dresden Dolls, Claudio Baglioni and Renato Zero; she wins the title "Revelation of the Year" at MEI 2005 (Italian independent music festival). Followed by an ever-growing crowd of fans, she performs more than 150 gigs and though her highly-visited website (rewarded as one of the most interesting websites of that year by Premio Web Italia) she reaches 200.000 users all over the world.



In 2006 L'Aura takes part at the "Festival di Sanremo" and her song "Irraggiungibile", even if it doesn't make it to the final day of the competition, achieves an impressive amount of success and the record "Okumuki" soon reaches the status of Gold.



The release date of her second record, "Demian", named after the beautiful and spiritual Herman Hesse homonym book, is set for June the 8th 2006 sung, again, part in Italian, part in English. The record sounds very different from Okumuki and it is heavily influenced by her favorite music: jazz, electronica, dream-pop, movie-sountrack music and rock. It is a concept album on magic , politics, social issues and love. The first single , "Non è una favola" ("This Is No Fairy Tale"), is a witty song with lots of irony, and attitude. It makes fun of Hollywood stars and their paranoid behaviors.



During 2007 L'Aura promotes "Demian" participating at many MTV's and All MUSIC's programs, and performing live with GNU Quartet, a particular combo of strings and a flute. Reviews of music fans and journalists are enthusiastic and the group reaches many cities of Southern Italy where L'Aura never performed in the past.



In 2008 L'Aura takes part for the second time at the "Festival di Sanremo" with a song about non-violence called "Basta!" ("Stop erasing"). The song achieves an incredible radio success, reaching number 12 in the official charts.

During Sanremo her record label releases a new album, "L'Aura", containing tunes

from her past CDs, a live version of "Radio Star", 3 previously unreleased tracks and a Fabrizio De Andrè's cover named "Bocca di Rosa", acclaimed by most of Italians as one of the best Italian songs of all times.



At the end of June 2008 Sony releases "Cos'è", the second single from "L'Aura". The song , like all the others, is heavily played by Italian radios and MTV.

She also wins the prize for "Best Sanremo's Song" at the prestigious "Premio Lunezia". L'Aura is currently working on her third record and performing live with a new electric band, opening for internationally acclaimed Alanis Morrissette, The Police, R.E.M. and Ben Harper.



In fall 2008 Andrea Farri, the former assistant of great movie soundtrack master Nicola Piovani, asks L'Aura to write with him the theme song for the movie "Un gioco da ragazze" ("A Game For Girls"), directed by Matteo Rovere and produced by Raicinema and Colorado Films, becomes a real "case", which is released in more than 250 movie theaters starting from November the 7th.



Also, in the same period, Italian superstar Gianluca Grignani invites L'Aura to duet with him on his new single "Vuoi vedere che ti amo" ("Guess I love you") which is currenty played by all Italian major radio stations and have been highly acclaimed by fans of both artists.



She is currently writing songs for her upcoming record, which will be released by Sony Entertainment in 2010.



A soli 23 anni, L’Aura può vantare un percorso artistico eccezionalmente rapido e di qualità.

Dal 2005 ad oggi ha conquistato critica e pubblico oltre che la stima di autorevoli colleghi, una serie di premi e un disco d’oro

con l’album di debutto. Questo, grazie ad un talento unico, sia come compositrice, sia come musicista e cantante.

Dopo due anni trascorsi a San Francisco per perfezionarsi, L’Aura rientra in Italia per registrare il

suo primo disco dal titolo Okumuki, cantato parte in italiano e parte in inglese.

Produttore artistico Enrique Gonzalez Müller (tecnico del suono proveniente dagli storici Plant Studios

di San Francisco, gia’ al lavoro, tra gli altri, con Jason Newsted, Dave Matthews Band e Joe Satriani),

produttore esecutivo Andrea Bariselli.

L’album Okumuki viene pubblicato nell'aprile 2005.

Radio Star, il singolo che lo precede, proietta L’Aura in brevissimo tempo in un vortice inarrestabile

di impegni e di gratificanti conferme: i singoli successivi Today e Una favola scalano in contemporanea

le classifiche radiofoniche e di vendita.

L’Aura suona con grandi artisti italiani e internazionali quali Renato Zero, Claudio Baglioni,

Morgan, e Lenny Kravitz; e’ tra gli esordienti piu’ votati al Premio Tenco 2005;

vince il premio come Rivelazione dell’Anno al MEI 2005; raccoglie intorno a se’ un gruppo sempre piu’

folto di fan che la seguono nei concerti (oltre 100 live da aprile 2005) e attraverso il suo visitatissimo sito internet

www.l-aura.com, che viene segnalato tra gli ‘eccellenti’ al Premio Web Italia 2005.

L’Aura partecipa al Festival di Sanremo 2006 nella categoria Giovani con la canzone

Irraggiungibile, dove ottiene una grande affermazione personale.

Okumuki conquista il disco d’oro e si conferma album di straordinaria qualità e tenuta con il singolo e video di successo

Demian,con tredici brani, alcuni cantati in italiano, altri in inglese. L’album è particolarmente ricco di sfumature,

con frequenti cambi di registro che passano dalle tinte forti del rock fino ai toni più delicati delle ballad e del jazz.

Il primo singolo Non è una favola fa notizia per il testo che, con ironia,

punta il dito sulle nevrosi di taluni personaggi dello star system che fanno della loro vita dorata una

trappola di infelicità; il videoclip ottiene la nomination al Premio Videoclip Italiano.

Il secondo singolo E’ per te, è una intensa canzone d’amore cantata in duo con Max Zanotti, leader dei Deasonika.



Il 29 febbraio è stato pubblicato un album rappresentativo dell'intero percorso artistico di L'Aura.

Il nuovo album contiene sei brani inediti, tra cui "Basta!", cantato al Festival di Sanremo, una cover, quattro brani tratti da Okumuki e quattro da Demian. Il titolo non poteva che essere: L'Aura.
