Aurora Aksnes earliest musical memory is that of locating an attic piano and becoming fascinated by the music it could make. Her parents May-Britt and Jan Oystein Aksnes encouraged her to pursue music not as a career or hobby but to grow. She started writing lyrics of her own. Like Bjork She also cites Leonard Cohen as an influence. Her mother had told her that her songs can assist her in gaining not only fame but also help others see their importance within the global community and see the possibilities for the songs, she decided to perform in public. The piano was first played by her when she was just 6 years old and started writing songs when she was nine. It wasn't until she was 14 when she shared her story with her parents. She never had a desire for her to achieve Aurora. She says she just likes creating songs. Music is for her an ideal method of feeling any emotion.
