Aurora

Aurora Aksnes was born on 15 June 1996 in Stavanger, Norway. Professionally known as Aurora and occasionally stylized using uppercase letters in the form of AURORA. Her debut E.P. Running with the Wolves by Decca Records was released on May 15, 2015, receiving rave reviews from both music bloggers as well as from the media. The singer has recorded two highly-profile cover songs Half the World Away by Oasis. Oasis to promote a Christmas ad by John Lewis and Nature Boy by Nat King Cole. Katy Perry's endorsement of her song Runaway in a blog post added to the musician's appreciation. Make it a day to celebrate her birthday. Aurora Aksnes' earliest musical memory is of finding the piano in her attic and being captivated by the sound it made. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes encouraged her to learn music not to get an income or as a pastime, but as an opportunity to improve. In the end, she started writing her own music. She credits renowned composers Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan as influences as well as a love for Bjork's style. In response to her mother's suggestion that people ought not to aim at achieving fame through their songwriting skills, she instead recognize the significance of their lives as well as their contribution to society. As a young girl, she began to play the piano. At age nine, she, started writing songs. The fact that she was a musician wasn't known to her family until she was fourteen. Aurora's success was never her goal. Her only passion is writing music. For her, music is the most effective method to experience anything.
