history

In 2009 the five singers formed the band Auryn. They chose the name after AURYN , a magical object from Michael Ende's book The Neverending Story , which fulfilled all the wishes of its wearer.

First published Auryn cover versions of known songs on YouTube , including Umbrella by Rihanna . In 2011 they took part in the Destino Eurovisión , the Spanish elimination competition for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest . They reached the final of the last three participants, but lost there to the singer Lucía Pérez .

Auryn used the notoriety gained through the competition to release their first single, Breathe in the Light , which reached number 10 on the Spanish music charts , and later that year released their debut album Endless Road, 7058 on their own. In 2012 Auryn was signed by Warner Music Spain . The debut album was re-released under the title Endless Road, 7058 Upcoming, expanded by four songs and reached number 4 on the Spanish album charts. Auryn's following albums Anti-Heroes (2013), Circus Avenue (2014) and Ghost Town (2015) all reached number 1 on the charts.

In 2011 Auryn began a concert tour through Spain with songs from her first album. On November 24th of this year they appeared in Madrid as opening act for a concert by The Wanted during their European tour. Further concert tours by Auryn through Spain and Mexico followed from 2012.
