# Au/Ra

Jamie Lou Stenzel (born 15 May 2002), known professionally as Au/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 the CamelPhat version of the single "Panic Room" that she wrote about mental health problems, and was featured on Alan Walker's number-one single "Darkside" in the same year.

## Biography

Jamie Lou Stenzel was born in Ibiza, Spain, where she grew up until 2007, but since then she was raised in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. She is the daughter of German producer Torsten Stenzel and the Ibiza-based singer Asheni, also known professionally as Angela Fuller, born Michelle Heldmann in Germany. In Spanish nationality law, because of her two German parents, Au/Ra is considered German herself, and was not granted Spanish citizenship upon birth.

## Stage name origin

Au/Ra's stage name consists of two elements from the periodic table: "Au" stands for gold, while "Ra" stands for radium. Au/Ra said she decided to put a slash between 'Au' and 'Ra' to differentiate herself from a few singers already named Aura. She drew inspiration from the The Lord of the Rings, and in her early adolescence she wrote her own fan fiction piece in which the main character, a sister of the elf prince Legolas, was called Aura.
