Jan Oystein Aksnes, her parents May Britt Aksnes and Jan Oystein Aksnes, encouraged their daughter to take up music for a love rather than a profession. For this reason she started writing her own original compositions. In addition to Bjork as well, she mentions Leonard Cohen as an influence. Responding to her mother's suggestions that she should not be aiming to become famous with her songwriting, but instead be aware of the significance of them and the impact they have on society. When she began playing the piano, she was six years old and started writing songs when she was nine. It was not until she turned 14 that she revealed her plans to her parents. Aurora wasn't a dream. She claims that she enjoys writing music. According to her, the music she composes is how she feels about any thing.
