Jamie Lou Stenzel (born 15 May 2002), known professionally as Au/Ra, is a singer and songwriter. She released her first single "Concrete Jungle" in 2016, which quickly gained 15 million streams worldwide.

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 German Ibiza-based singer Angela Fuller (née Michelle Heldmann), also known professionally as Asheni. According to Spanish nationality law, since both of her parents are foreigners, she was not granted Spanish citizenship at birth. AU/RA is considered German-Antiguan.
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 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.
