Aurora Aksnes earliest musical memory is that of finding a piano in her attic and being awed by the sounds it would make. Jan Oystein Aksnes' parents May Britt Aksnes urged her to pursue music for the sake of personal development, and not as a way of earning money or to pursue as a hobby. She started writing songs of her own. She credits Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen as well as Bjork as her main influences. When her mother said that her songs can not only aid in her efforts to gain fame, however, they could also help others understand their value in the world and realize how they can benefit from the songs, she decided to begin performing publicly. The mother of her child suggested that she perform her songs publicly to help people realize the importance of their work and how they can affect the world. It was not until she turned 14 when she shared her story with her parents. Aurora's fame was not her goal. She says she just likes to compose music. She says that music is her preferred method to feel anything.
