Maria Louise Joensen, known professionally as Aura Dione, is a Danish singer-songwriter born on January 21, 1985, in New York to Faroese and French-Danish parents. Growing up in Bornholm, Denmark, Aura was inspired by the diverse musical tastes of her parents, which ranged from traditional Faroese chants to Joni Mitchell, infusing her own music with a blend of pop, folk, and indie influences. She first gained major commercial success with her multi-platinum selling single "I Will Love You Monday (365)" and the follow-up hit "Geronimo," both of which became chart-toppers in several European countries.

Dione's distinctive voice and ability to craft engaging melodies are evident in her subsequent releases, which often explore themes of love, identity, and empowerment. Her approach to music combines catchy pop sensibilities with introspective lyricism, a feature that has earned her a dedicated fanbase. Over the years, Aura has continued to evolve as an artist, experimenting with various musical styles, as illustrated by her diverse discography which includes the tender "Marry Me" accompanied by several remixes, the reflective "In Love With The World (Pure Version)," and the more recent pop-flavored track "Shania Twain," available as a single and in multiple remix formats. Her unique style often incorporates a mix of organic and electronic elements, giving her music a timeless yet contemporary feel.
