Aurora Aksnes first musical memory was locating a keyboard at her loft, where she was attracted by its sounds. Jan Oystein Aksnes, her parents May Britt Aksnes, and Jan Oystein Aksnes urged Aurora Aksnes to take up music as an interest or a career. She began to write her own compositions. Her influence comes from famous writers Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan in addition to the style of Bjork. When her mother told her that her music could aid in her gaining popularity, but also help people see the importance of their music in the world and realize how they can benefit from her songs, she opted to start performing in public. The piano was her first instrument when she was just six years old, then began making music at the age of nine. It wasn't until her 14th birthday when she shared her story with her parents. The dream was never to become Aurora. Aurora says that she likes to compose songs. Music is for her the best method to convey anything.
