Aurora Aksnes' first musical memory involves finding a small piano hidden in the basement, and becoming enthralled by the sounds it produced. Jan Oystein Aksnes' parents May Britt Aksnes advised her to use music for development of her own, not as a way of earning a living or to pursue an interest. So she started with her own music. Her inspirations include famous authors Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, as well as her love of Bjork's style. After her mother said that the songs she composed could be used to not gain fame for her but instead to inspire people to realize their own value and impact on our world at large, she started playing them on stage. At age 6, she began to play the piano and at nine began writing her own songs. Her family didn't have any idea about it until she reached the age of fourteen. Aurora was not a goal. Her sole passion is writing music. To her music, is the most effective way to express anything.
