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.[3] 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.[4]
