Aurora

Aurora Aksnes was born on 15 June 1996 in Stavanger Norway. The name she is most commonly used for her professional work is Aurora and sometimes stylized with the letters in uppercase like AURORA. Her debut E.P. Running with the Wolves has been released by Decca Records and was well welcomed by blogs about music. Half the World Away, by the Oasis group for John Lewis Christmas advertisements and Nature Boy by Nat King Cole are just two of the artist's high-profile recordings. Her name was also recognized through a tweet from Katy Perry where Perry endorsed her song Runaway. Make it a special day. Aurora Aksnes' first musical memories involve finding a tiny piano hidden in the basement and bewildered by the sound it produced. Jan Oystein Aksnes' parents May Britt Aksnes urged her to pursue music for the sake of personal development, and not to earn money or for as a hobby. Her parents encouraged her to compose. Her sources include noted writer Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan in addition to her love for Bjork's style. She decided to start performing her songs publicly when her mother suggested that they could help people not gain acclaim for her work but to make those around them see their importance and the ways they can affect the world. She started playing piano when she was six years old and started writing songs by the time she was nine. This was not known to her family until she turned fourteen. Aurora never dreamed of being a famous singer. As she says, she just likes to write songs. The songs she creates are the way that she feels everything.
