Aurora Aksnes earliest musical memory is that of finding a piano in her attic and being fascinated by the sounds it would produce. Jan Oystein Aksnes' parents May Britt Aksnes advised her to pursue music for development of her own, not to earn money or to pursue to pursue an interest. She began to write with her own music. She credits Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and Bjork as being her influences. Her mother was supportive of her performing her songs in public, not to achieve fame, but rather in order to show others that they matter and how they can make a difference to make a difference in the world. At age 6 she started playing the piano and at nine, started writing songs. The fact that she was a musician wasn't known by her family until she reached the age of fourteen. It was never a dream to turn into Aurora. The singer says that she simply likes writing songs. She believes that music is the most effective method of feeling anything.
