Danish singer/guitarist with a twist: Aura Dione lives her inner child with colourful outfits, unconventional lyrics, playful music, and extravagant live-shows. Just don´t think in boxes – call it better art for a better world.
She could not have picked a better artist-name for herself. Simply because this 23-year-old beauty from Copenhagen really has an aura about her: Long black hair, bright eyes, a stunning figure and more ambition to succeed than most men could handle. A caterpillar in a cocoon that has been waiting patiently for years. Even though that is probably her biggest weakness. »I need to do something all the time«, she says with a breath taking smile. »My dream scenario would be: Getting up at five thirty in the morning, at seven thirty be down dancing for three hours, then play music for four hours, then one hour in the gym, and then playing a big concert. I mean, every day, 31 days a month. That’s what I want.«
Longing for a professional career in music all her life, Aura has been with various record-companies in her teenage years, before she travelled the world (Australia and Japan in particular), and returned to Denmark in order to record her first album »Columbine«. A homage to the comic servant in the classic Italian Commedia dell´Arte that also finds its way into the cover-artwork. Just check those colours and squares…
Released in late January 2008 the album »Columbine« got rave reviews, reached the top of the local album-charts, and spawned the number-1-single »Song For Sophie«.
