Aurora Aksnes earliest musical memory is the discovery of an attic piano and becoming fascinated by the sounds it would produce. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes urged Aurora to pursue music, not for work or as a hobby, but rather to develop. For this reason, she began writing music that was her own. Like Bjork and Bjork, she also credits Leonard Cohen as an influence. She decided to start performing their songs in public after her mother said they could help people not gain fame through her music, but rather to help everyone else realize their own importance and how they impact the world. The piano was first played by her when she was just 6 years old and began to write music by the time she was nine. Her family didn't hear about it until the age of 14. Aurora wasn't a dream. According to her, she simply loves writing music. Music is for her one of the most efficient ways to convey anything.
