Aurora Aksnes earliest musical memory was of discovering a piano in her attic and being fascinated by the sounds it would create. Her parents May-Britt along with Jan Oystein Aksnes encouraged her to pursue music not as a profession or a pastime, but as a way to develop. They advised her to compose. She acknowledges Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen as well as Bjork as her main influences. Her mother encouraged her to perform her music in front of the public, but not so that she could gain fame but rather to help others realize that they matter and how they can make a difference for humanity. The mother of her child suggested that she perform her songs publicly in order to make people aware of their importance and the ways they impact the world. It was unknown to her family until she turned fourteen. Aurora's accomplishments were never the goal of her. As she says, she loves writing music. She believes that music is the only method of feeling anything.
