Biography
19 year old Audra Green is a rapper/songwriter who was raised in Richmond VA by way of Washington DC. As her mother’s only child, Audra was pushed into playing sports and writing at an early age. She remembers sitting on the porch as a child and writing out her thoughts in order to stay out of trouble. As her imagination grew, she began to write more and creativity began to shine through. Audra sees music as a motivation in itself and feels that she can be successful without conforming to the norm when it comes to her lyrics.
Audra is currently a student at Old Dominion University studying Music Business. She is also working with Timbaland’s newest protégé WizzDumb and has written/referenced tracks for major artists such as Trina and Estelle. She is also nominated for two SEA (Southern Entertainment Awards) for her organization “Music For A Cause.” Music For A Cause is a charitable organization founded by Audra in order to benefit and raise awareness for Teen HIV/AIDS, Teen Pregnancy and the prevention of violence among our youth. They travel from city to city holding events and seminars to support the various causes. In addition, she is nominated for 2 DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) Entertainment awards in the “Best Female Rapper” and “Community Service” categories.
With her music currently in rotation on over 90 radio stations in France, Audra is headed straight for success in the music industry. At the age of 16 was selected as the Hip-Hop/ R&B Songwriter of the Year, by VH1 Supporter, Save the Music. Also at 16 she headlined an all female tour traveling through major cities on the East Coast. She has opened for the likes of Karina Pasian, Ray J and Lloyd to name a few. Audra’s major musical influence is Lauryn Hill mainly because she set the tone for talented women who were successful in the music industry without using sexuality to sell records.
