Jamie Lou Stenzel, known by her stage name Au/Ra, is an Ibizan singer and songwriter. She is the daughter of German DJ and producer, Torsten Stenzel.
Born in Ibiza in 2002 but later moving to the Caribbean island of Antigua as a young child, Au/Ra grew up in a very musical family. Explaining her upbringing, she says she’s “always kind of felt like an outsider”:
Not just because of growing up in the middle of nowhere, but also because I’ve always just been a bit introverted. I wanted to make a song for people who don’t feel like they fit in, and just say, ‘It’s okay to be a bit weird. Whoever you are, you shouldn’t feel less powerful just because you don’t fit in with the typical in crowd.’
