U-Aura Dion (igama langempela uMaria Louise Johnsen) ungumbhali wengoma nomculi odumile waseDenmark. Umculo wakhe uyinto yangempela yokuhlanganisa amasiko omhlaba ahlukene.
Nakuba edabuka eDenmark, izimpande zakhe zibuyela eziQhingini zaseFaroe, eSpain, ngisho naseFrance. Kodwa lesi akusona isizathu sodwa esenza umculo wakhe ubizwe ngokuthi ngowamasiko amaningi.
U-Aura uhamba emhlabeni wonke futhi ugqugquzelwa amasiko amazwe nabantu abahlukahlukene, esebenzisa izinsimbi zabo zomculo kanye ne-motifs emsebenzini wakhe. Uthando lokuhlola lwaqala kusukela esemncane.
Ubuntwana bukaMarie Louise Johnsen
Ngokusho kweminye imithombo, uMaria Louise Johnsen wazalelwa eNew York, ngokusho kwabanye - eCopenhagen. Kuyo yonke iminyaka yakhe yobuntwana kanye nentsha ngesikhathi esesikoleni esiphakeme, wayeyisakhamuzi saseDenmark.
Lapho intombazane eneminyaka engu-7 ubudala, ekugcineni umkhaya wakubo wathuthela yokuhlala unomphela esiqhingini Bornholm (etholakala oLwandle iBaltic futhi kungokwalabo Denmark).
Ngokusho kwenye inguqulo, abazali bakhe nendodakazi yabo bathuthela lapha ngemva kohambo olude emhlabeni wonke (lapho u-Aura wazalelwa eNew York).
Isizathu sokuzulazula okunjalo silula - abazali bakhe babengama-hippie. Ngakho-ke, ngendlela, izimpande zesiFulentshi (umama) kanye neSpanishi (zobaba).
Ukuhlanganiswa kwamasiko kwabazali akuthonyanga kuphela izintandokazi zokunambitheka kwentombazane, kodwa futhi nokukhuliswa kwayo ngokujwayelekile. Kwakungabazali bakhe abethula u-Aura emculweni esemncane.
Kwakusesiqhingini saseBornholm lapho uDion abhala khona ingoma yakhe yokuqala. Ngaleso sikhathi, ingane yayineminyaka engu-8 kuphela ubudala. Lapha waphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, wabe esethuthela e-Australia.
Ukuqala kokuqashelwa komhlaba
Kwakuyi-Australia, nesiko layo elingajwayelekile nelingaziwa kangako kwabaseYurophu, elathonya ukuthuthukiswa kokugcina kwe-Aura njengomculi. Lapha lo mculi osemusha wahlangana nabantu bomdabu, wajwayelana namasiko, umculo nendlela yabo yokuphila.
Umbono walokho akubona wawumkhulu kangangokuthi ngo-2007 wakhipha ingoma ethi Something From Nothing, egqugquzelwa umoya wase-Australia kanye nesiko laboMdabu.
Ingoma eyodwa ethi Something from Nothing yaphasiswa ngumphakathi jikelele. Okuphumelele kakhulu kube ingoma eyodwa elandelayo ethi Song For Sophie. Lezi zingoma kamuva zafakwa ku-albhamu yakhe yokuqala ethi Columbine.
Icwecwe laphuma ngo-2008, kanti ingoma ephambili kuyo bekuyingoma ethi I Love You Monday.
Kwakungenxa yalokhu kushaya ukuthi umculi waphakamisa amashadi omculo emazweni amaningi aseYurophu (eJalimane, eDenmark, njll.), wathola ukuthandwa okubanzi futhi wadonsa ukunaka kwabakhiqizi abadumile.
Ukuqinisa izikhundla endaweni yomculo womhlaba
Ngemva kokuphumelela kwe-albhamu yokuqala (ekweletwa kakhulu ukwakheka okukhulunywe ngenhla), i-Aura yathola izipesheli ezivela kubakhiqizi abadumile.
Ngendlela, yibo ababiza intombazane ngegama elinjalo. Igama elithi "aura" lihlotshaniswa netshe eliyigugu elicwebezelayo ngemibala ehlukene - izithunzi zamasiko ahlukahlukene omhlaba.
I-albhamu yesibili yesitudiyo Ngaphambi kweDinosaurs yakhululwa eminyakeni emithathu ngemuva kwe-albhamu eyedwa yokuqala. Uhlobo lwale albhamu alukwazi ukubizwa ngokungananazi.
Lona umculo wesintu futhi, usebenzisa izinsimbi kanye ne-motifs ezivela kumasiko amaningana omhlaba, kodwa ngomsindo we-pop ozwakala kakhulu (ngokungangabazeki lokhu kwathinteka ukubamba iqhaza kwabakhiqizi abadumile).
Abantu ababambe iqhaza futhi baba nomthelela ngqo ekuphumeleleni kwama-albhamu ezinkanyezi ezinjengoLady Gaga, iTokio Hotel, uMadonna nabanye basebenza ku-disc yesibili ye-Aura.
I-Geronimo ingoma edume kakhulu evela ku-albhamu. I-single yazuza ukuduma okuhlanya eJalimane futhi yahlasela ngokuzethemba amashadi emazweni amaningi emhlabeni jikelele.
U-Aura uphinde wawina nokuqokwa kwe-"International Breakthrough" emklomelweni waminyaka yonke we-European Border Breakers Award wabaculi abasafufusa, owabe waba nesimo esiphakeme kakhulu.
Izici zesitayela somculo
Naphezu kokuzibandakanya kwabakhiqizi be-pop, ngisho nakuma-albhamu esibili nalandelayo esithathu (Awukwazi Ukweba Umculo), u-Aure wakwazi ukulondoloza ubunjalo besitayela sakhe futhi akazange agxile emculweni we-pop.
Imisebenzi yomculo isekelwe kubantu abangaphimiseleki kakhulu, okuthi, ngenxa yomsindo we-pop "othambile", uzwakale uthakazelisa ngokulinganayo kubo bobabili abathandi bomculo odumile kanye nabanolwazi bomsindo wokuhlola.
Naphezu kokudlondlobala kwezinsimbi "ezibukhoma" ezivela emhlabeni wonke, izinhlelo zivame ukusebenzisa imisindo ye-elekthronikhi ehambisana kahle nesithombe sisonke. Zizwakala zishukumisa kakhulu ngenxa yomsebenzi onzima esigqi.
I-albhamu yokugcina yomculi ikhishwe ngoMeyi 2017. Ngemuva kokukhululwa kwayo, u-Aura wakumisa okwesikhashana ukukhishwa kwezinto ezintsha, kodwa ngo-2019 wabuya ne-Shania Twain eyodwa, eyamukelwa ngemfudumalo ngumphakathi.
Kwabe sekulandela ingoma ethi Sunshine, kwalandela ingoma ethi Collorblind.
NgoMashi 2020, lo mculi wethula i-albhamu encane ethi Fearless Lovers. Namuhla i-Aura imatasa ivakashela i-Europe (kugcizelelwa ngokukhethekile eJalimane) futhi iyaqhubeka nokuqopha izinto ezintsha.
