Aurora Aksnes' first musical moment was when she stumbled across a miniature piano in her basement and becoming enthralled by the sounds it made. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes urged Aurora to pursue music, not for work or for a passion, but as an opportunity to grow. As a result, she started writing her own music. Her sources include noted writer Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, as well as her love for Bjork's style. When her mother told her that the songs she composed might not be famous for her, rather to help people to realize the value of themselves and their impact in our world at large, she started singing them in public. Piano was her first instrument, at six. She began writing music when she turned nine. It wasn't until her 14th birthday when she shared her story with her parents. The dream was never to become Aurora. Her only passion is to write music. She believes that music is the most effective method of feeling anything.
