Bio
from a very young age around 8 years of age, AURA knew he wanted to get into the music scene and be a DJ.
his very first taste in music was rave Jungle and dance music and Bollywood remixes.
fast forward to the summer of 1999 AURA now 13 discovered a genre that would change his life forever, That genre was Trance.
AURA was completely mesmerized by this magical spiritual uplifting sound and knew instantly that this was the genre for him.
The first Trance mix AURA heard was that of Paul Oakenfold @ space Ibiza 1999 on BBC Radio 1 .the mix brought tears to AURA who had taken the sound of Trance to his heart from that moment AURA had never experienced such emotion before.
From then on in AURA Started to regularly listen to Dj,s Such as Paul Oakenfold judge Jules Tiesto and other big names at the time .evermore expanding his knowledge and understanding of Trance.
At 18 AURA brought his first cd decks and started to hone his skills and define his own unique style influenced by his DJ idol Paul Oakenfold.
In 2008 AURA had the chance to see Paul Oakenfold DJ at the ministry of sound club in London. It was another defining moment for AURA he had finally seen his DJ idol and it was one of the best nights of his life.
in 2009 another defining moment happened AURA met a long lost school friend Neill Moore.
