I am a composer, songwriter, producer, and keyboard/synth player.  I graduated from the University of Miami with my masters degree in Media Scoring and Production.  For my undergraduate degree, I attended Oberlin College and Conservatory majoring in Composition and Electronic Music.  My music is based in classical and jazz training; and I currently work on projects based in progressive rock/pop, experimental electronic music, and composition for film.  On this account, you can listen to a wide variety of music and projects that I have composed over the years.  In the summer of 2023, I taught music at a school for high school students with disabilities, and during this time, I developed the Noise and Buttons Musical Learning Program centered around an app I designed for neurodivergent students to learn music with sensory-friendly interfaces.  This spanned an album of class projects where students used the tools and information I taught them to create "process music" songs.  This, along with other compositions and music projects that I have worked on over the years, can be found on this account.  To listen to my official releases on streaming, you can find my Apple Music, Spotify, and BandCamp artist accounts in the links below.

SHOLA AURORA is the former singer of New York City based visual rock band Sol Ardour which is currently on hiatus. As a songwriter and producer, Shola pursues his first venture as a solo artist creating sounds influenced by the musical genres of visual kei , goth, metal, glam, rock, and experimental music while continuing to dwell in N.Y.C.


The creation of his new music cultivated by his own experiences of learning through other's happiness, sadness, joy and despair began to develop a story of a quite lonely observer of the world, a fallen demigod if you will, in search of purpose. Shola's dark and mysterious world is built upon the foundation of music while incorporating lyrics of thought, reflection, endless searching for answers all the while taking you, the listener, along his journey by touching your dormant and deep emotions... resurrecting them for a purpose and end resolve.
