Musical career

Early life (1985–2006)

Aura Dione was born Mariah Dione on January 21, 1985 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her Faroese/French mother and Danish/Spanish[4] father introduced her to music, and the first song was written when she was as young as 8 years old. Her parents were hippies and sailed around of the oceans of the world with her as a child until the 7-year-old was given residence on Bornholm. Here she began her schooling and was enrolled as a teenager in high school, but in the middle she chose to move to Australia where she sought inspiration from the Aborigines. This resulted later in the song "Something From Nothing".
