Birth Name

Most interviews with Shura state her name as 'Aleksandra', which given her Russian heritage is presumably how she chooses to spell her name with that in mind; the records for her company and her song-writing credits give her name as 'Alexandra Lilah Denton', which is therefore most likely to be her legal/ birth name. Other sources however have her full name as 'Aleksandra Yakunina-Denton' (Yakunina being her mother's surname). This is just a note to outline the variations in her name given at the top of this article. Ashiyura (talk) 23:38, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date

Is there a reason why her birth year is listed as 1988 in the infobox? The body text lists three references for 1991. HarashoEli (talk) 21:43, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think all is as it seems with her age. The references in the body text seem to only be for her alternative name, not for her birth year. While the age provided in the media for the past several years aligns with a presumed birth year of 1991, you can find UK birth records for her and her twin brother for 1988. She was very recently (June 2019) referred to as being 30 in an interview with Vulture, presumably written before her 31st birthday on June 17th. 184.74.227.42 (talk) 15:29, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Updated Labels section of infobox.

Shura is now with the record label Secretly Canadian so I have updated the infobox to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KaraLG84 (talk • contribs) 16:16, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
