Jan Oystein Aksnes, her parents May Britt Aksnes and Jan Oystein Aksnes, encouraged their daughter to pursue music for a love rather than as a job. The singer began to write lyrics of her own. She credits renowned composers Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan as influences as well as an affinity for Bjork's style. When her mother told her that the songs she wrote were not meant to gain fame for her however, but to encourage people to see their own value and impact in the world, she started performing them publicly. She began playing the piano as her primary instrument when she was six, and she started creating music after turning nine. Her family didn't hear about it until she turned fourteen. Aurora never dreamed of being a famous singer. Her sole passion is writing music. For her, the music she writes is her way of feeling anything.
