Aurora Aksnes first musical memory was finding a keyboard within her loft and being intrigued by its sounds. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes encouraged her to learn music, not for an income or as a pastime and as a way to develop. The Aksnes family advised her to compose. Alongside Bjork as well, she mentions Leonard Cohen as an influence. Her mother encouraged her to perform her music in front of the public, but not to be famous, but in order to show others that they matter and what they can do for humanity. When she was six she started playing the piano, and when she was nine began writing her own songs. Her family didn't hear about her music until she reached 14. Aurora has never imagined being a famous singer. She claims that she enjoys composing songs. For her, the songs she creates are the way that she feels everything.
