Aurora Aksnes' earliest memory of music is finding a grand piano that was in the attic. She was fascinated by its capabilities. Jan Oystein Aksnes, her parents May Britt Aksnes and Jan Oystein Aksnes, encouraged their daughter to pursue music as a passion rather as a career. The Aksnes family encouraged her to compose. Her inspirations include famous authors Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, as well as her love of Bjork's style. She decided to start performing her songs publicly when her mom suggested they might help others not be famous with her music, but rather to help those around them see their own importance and how they can affect the world. When she was six She began playing the piano and at nine was writing music. It wasn't until her 14th birthday that she revealed her plans to her parents. Aurora wasn't a dream. The only thing she loves is to compose music. For her, music is the best method of feeling anything.
