Aurora Aksnes' first musical memories involve finding a tiny piano in her basement, and becoming enthralled by the sounds it created. Jan Oystein Aksnes was her father. They encouraged her not to pursue music solely for pleasure or as a means of growing, but that she should pursue it. For this reason, she began writing original compositions. In addition to Bjork She also cites Leonard Cohen as an influence. The singer decided to perform the songs she wrote publicly after her mother said they could help people not be famous with her work but to make those around them see the importance of their work and how they impact the world. The piano was her first instrument when she was six years old and started creating music when she was nine. This was not known to her family members until she reached the age of fourteen.
