About Me

AURA BAKKERBorn in 1981, Aura took early life lessons in Indian music and tabla, coupled with an intense investment in mastering the vocal demands of all things jazz. She went on to complete a BA in music at the Maastricht Conservatory of Music in Holland. Living between, and performing her songs in, Holland, Fiji, London and the US, Aura has a wealth of personal life experience. She plays the cajon and piano; dances with an infectiously feisty freedom; and her voice is........ Most of Aura's songs are inspired by Adi Da Samraj, her Spiritual Teacher and an amazing Artist. The photos used for the song "Searchless" is an image that Adi Da Samraj created.Aura was told by the great jazz singer Mark Murphy you are going to make it girl! and the infamous double bass pro Gerlad Cannon, said, damn girl - you can sing!Aura is ready to collaborate with songwriters and producers in preparation for the big deal.
