Jamie Lou Stenzel (born 15 May 2002), known professionally asAu/Ra, is a German singer and songwriter. She released her first single "Concrete Jungle" in 2016, which quickly gained 15 million streams worldwide. She rose to prominence in 2018 with theCamelPhat version of the single "Panic Room" that she wrote about mental health problems, and was featured onAlan Walker's number-one single "Darkside" in the same year.
Jamie Lou Stenzel was born inIbiza, Spain, where she grew up until 2007, but since then she was raised inSt. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. She is the daughter of German producerTorsten Stenzel and the Ibiza-based singer Asheni, also known professionally as Angela Fuller, born Michelle Heldmann in Germany. InSpanish nationality law, because of her two German parents, Au/Ra is considered German herself, and was not granted Spanish citizenship upon birth.
Au/Ra's stage name consists of two elements from theperiodic table: "Au" stands for gold, while "Ra" stands forradium. Au/Ra said she decided to put a slash between 'Au' and 'Ra' to differentiate herself from a few singers already named Aura.[1] She drew inspiration fromThe Lord of the Rings, and in her early adolescence she wrote her ownfan fiction piece in which the main character, a sister of the elf princeLegolas, was called Aura.[2]
