Aurora Aksnes earliest musical memory was of discovering an attic piano and being awed by the sound it could create. Jan Oystein Aksnes, her parents May Britt Aksnes, and Jan Oystein Aksnes urged Aurora Aksnes to pursue music for a hobby or as a profession. So she started making her own lyrics. She points to renowned songwriters Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan as inspirations, and also an appreciation for the style of Bjork. Her mom encouraged her to sing her songs in public, not for the sake of trying to be famous, but to help others realize how important they are and what they could do to improve the world. In the age of 6 she began to learn the piano and at nine was writing music. Her family didn't hear about it until she reached 14. The dream was never for her to achieve Aurora. The singer claims that she is a fan of writing songs. She believes that music is the best way to feel any emotion.
