Aurora Aksnes first musical memory was when she discovered a piano in her loft and being attracted by its sounds. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes encouraged her to learn music. It was not for work or as an interest, but in order to grow. To achieve this she began to write songs that were her own creations. Her influence comes from famous authors Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan in addition to her attraction to Bjork's style. Her mother encouraged her to perform her music publicly, not for the sake of trying to achieve fame, but rather to inspire others to realize just how important that they are, and the impact they can do for the world. Her first piano lessons began at the age of six, and began creating music when she was nine. It wasn't known to her family about it until she reached fourteen. It was never a dream to be Aurora. She claims that she enjoys making music. She says that music is her most preferred way to feel anything.
