Aurora Aksnes' earliest memory of music is finding an old grand piano hidden in the attic. The piano was fascinating to her what it could do. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes encouraged Aurora to study music, not for work or for a passion and as a way to improve. Her parents inspired her to write. Her inspirations include famous writers Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, as well as her love of Bjork's style. Her mother had said that her songs could not only help her achieve fame but also make others see their importance within the global community and see what can be done with her songs She decided to start singing in public. At age 6, she began to play the piano. At age nine, she began writing her own songs. She didn't tell her family about her music until she reached 14. Aurora wasn't a dream. The singer says that she simply likes writing music. For her, the music she composes is how she feels about any thing.
