Aurora Aksnes first musical memory was finding a keyboard in her loft and being amazed by its sound. Parents May-Britt as well as Jan Oystein Aksnes encouraged her to take up music not as a profession or a hobby, but for growth. So she started her own compositions. Her influences include renowned writers Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan in addition to her affinity with Bjork's style. Her mom encouraged her to sing her music in front of the public, but not in order to become famous but rather help others realize how important their voices are and how they can do for the world. The piano was first played by her when she was just 6 years old and was writing her first song by the time she was nine. The family members didn't know about it until the age of fourteen. Aurora was not a goal. Aurora says that she likes creating songs. Music is for her the most effective way to experience whatever.
