Aurora Aksnes earliest musical memory is that of locating an attic piano and being fascinated by the sound it could create. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes encouraged her to learn music, not for an income or to pursue just a pastime, but as a way to improve. She began to write writing her own songs. Her influences include renowned authors Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan in addition to the style of Bjork. She began performing the songs she wrote publicly after her mother suggested that they could help people not gain fame through her music but instead help people see around them realize the importance of their work and how they have an impact on the world. When she was six, she began to play on the piano. When she turned nine began writing her own songs. Her family didn't hear about it until she reached fourteen. There was no way she could have imagined to turn into Aurora. The singer claims that she is a fan of making music. Music is for her an ideal method of feeling everything.
