Waking Aurora was born in the rear seat of a hatchback family car, when the 4-year-old identical twin sisters began vocalizing the lyrics of their very first song. A decade later Jennifer and Sarah Ray had become a recognized singer/songwriter team in their hometown of Santa Cruz, California. The twins were regularly invited to share their unique vocal stylings at local and international functions including The Special Olympics and national charitable events hosted by The Salvation Army, where the duo took the stage in front of audiences that numbered up to 5,000.
But Jen and Sarah had their eyes set on New York City and in early 2002, they made their first official appearance as the folk-rock duo Inventing Eve. After 4 years on the New York music scene, which generated a solid following and established them as a recognized name in the Big City, Inventing Eve released their self-titled debut album, Inventing Eve in late 2006. It was this album which caught the attention of players within the UK music industry. Shortly after the move to London, Inventing Eve released their their second album (2009 EP Stumbling Toward Destiny). In 2010, the sister team was nominated for the Grammy Awards in four categories, for their original song Beautiful By My Scars.
Today, under the production of the innovative Paul Stacey, with creative direction by Producer Robin Millar, Waking Aurora's confident and organic music goes above and beyond the sisters' previous work, breaking the Inventing Eve mould with its courageous in-your face-lyrics and raising the bar fundamentally higher with its progressively alluring and haunting melodies. This single marks the debut of this freshly developed act, in the lead up to the 2013 release of their ground-breaking new album, Random Acts of Humankind.
