Aurora Aksnes' earliest musical memory is of finding an instrument hidden within her attic, then becoming fascinated with the sounds it created. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes encouraged Aurora to take up music. Not for a job or as a hobby, but rather to develop. So she started writing her own songs. She has cited renowned songwriters Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan as influences as well as an affinity for Bjork's style. The singer decided to perform her songs publicly when her mother suggested that they might help others to not become famous through her work but to make 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 playing the piano. At age nine, she, started writing songs. Family members didn't even know about her musical talents until she turned fourteen. Aurora did not have a set goal. According to her, she just enjoys writing songs. To her, music is the most effective way for expressing anything.
