About Me:
After two years spent in San Francisco to perfect her skills `LAura` 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.
