Aurora Aksnes first musical memory was when she discovered a piano at her loft, where she was fascinated by the music. Jan Oystein Aksnes, her parents May Britt Aksnes and Jan Oystein Aksnes urged Aurora Aksnes to take up music as an interest or career. Thus, she began writing her own songs. Her sources include renowned writer Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan and her love of Bjork's style. When she was told by her mother that her songs can assist her in gaining popularity, but also help people see the importance of their music on the planet and realise the potential of them, she decided to begin performing publicly. She started playing piano when she was only six and was writing her first song by the time she was nine. It wasn't known to her family that she had begun until fourteen. Aurora was not a goal. As she says, she just enjoys writing songs. To her, music is one of the most efficient ways for expressing anything.
