Early life

Naura Ayu was born on 18 June 2005 in Jakarta, Indonesia.[10] She is the eldest of four children. Her father, Baldy Mulya Putra, is a businessman, and her mother, Riafinola Ifani Sari, is a singer. Naura Ayu is of Palembang and Batak descent through her father [11][12] also Javanese[12] and Minangkabau through her mother.[13] Naura Ayu has 3 younger siblings, namely Adyano Rafi Bevan Putra, Anodya Shula Neona Ayu, who also works as a singer and Aladya Odetta Nakeya Ayu.[14]

Naura Ayu got singing talent from her mother. She has shown interest in music since she was 3 years old, at which time Naura Ayu prefers to watch musical cartoon videos than other cartoon videos. However, her mother, Nola, did not want to take Naura's interest seriously because Nola consider children of Naura's age usually get tired and bored easily.[15]

When she was 5 years old, Naura Ayu had asked to sing but was not allowed by her mother because she thought she was too young. But the desire remained until two years later. For two years, Naura Ayu learned to sing at home and studied the genre of music she liked. Naura Ayu admits that she likes classical musicals, such as Sound of Music, and songs from older singers, such as Frank Sinatra, Queen and Michael Jackson. In addition, she also listens to modern singers, such as Beyonce and Ariana Grande, as well as Ardhito Pramono, Raisa and her teammate Lala Karmela from Indonesia.[16] Naura Ayu was only allowed to become a singer when she was 7 years old because her mother wanted to ensure that Naura Ayu was determined and consistently pursued her singing talent.[17]
