William Aura (b. 1951) is a New Age, Ambient, Meditation, Healing, and Smooth Jazz musician. He began his solo music career at the dawn of the 1980s, riding the wave of California New Age from its DIY origins to the zenith of smooth jazz and contemporary instrumental. Aura found early success with a pair of zither-n-drone ambient albums on Fortuna (Aurasounds 1 and Aurasounds 2) that ultimately led to a bigger label deal with Higher Octave and the release of Half Moon Bay, his best-selling album of the '80s.
