Aurora Aksnes was born in the Stavanger University Hospital in
Chemical
Stavanger, Norway, on June 15, 1996.[5] She spent her first three
Brothers
years in Høle, a small town where her parents, May Britt Froastad
and Jan Øystein Aksnes, had lived for 15 years. In her house in Høle, Website www.aurora-
Aurora developed her taste for nature, singing and traditional music.com (htt
clothing, such as long skirts and hats.[5] Later the family moved p://www.aurora-
further north in western Norway,[5] to a house in the woodlands of music.com/)
the Os mountains, a remote municipality in Hordaland, near Bergen.
Aurora has described this place as “There are almost no cars and the roads are small and bumpy and
there are lots of trees everywhere, it's very quiet and the internet is bad.”.[6] She has also compared it to
the fictional land of Narnia.[7][8] When she attended school, her sisters—Miranda (currently her makeup
artist) and Viktoria Aksnes (currently her costume designer)—worried that she could be harassed by
other students, due to her personality and "weird" way of dressing.[9] “I used to be terrified of people
who wanted to hug me,” she said. “I did not like to be hugged as a child. And I used to be terrified of one
of my teachers at school, but then I met him a few months ago, and it was really nice. It’s weird how
things change."[10]
Aurora is the only musician in her family. She started learning to play piano when she was six. "I really
love classic music, and when I found this piano in the attic, I just started pressing the keys and trying to
figure out my favorite classical songs. I started to make melodies that I recognized. There was something
special about being able to play just by yourself – something about the emotion in it made me want to
continue playing."[11] At age nine, when she had a better handle of the English language, she began
writing songs.[7] Her first original composition was titled "I Had A Dream", which referred to how hard
the world can be.[12][13] Songs such as "Running with the Wolves," "I Went Too Far" and "Runaway"
were written in this early stage of her life, with "Runaway" being written when she was 12.[14] She has
mentioned she was influenced by artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Enya, and The Chemical
Brothers.[15][12]
Career
2012–2016: All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend
Aurora's first track "Puppet" was released in December 2012, followed by her second, "Awakening" in
May 2013. Her first single signed to her labels Glassnote Records and Decca Records, "Under Stars" was
released in November 2014, and "Runaway" followed in February 2015.
Her second single, "Running with the Wolves" was released in April 2015. She appeared at summer
festivals such as Way Out West, Wilderness, and Green Man Festival. Aurora's third single, "Murder
Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)" was released in September 2015 and has received continued support in national
press, on national radio and popular online music blogs.[16] Aurora performed at the 2015 Nobel Peace
Prize Concert.[17] She has played a sold out headline show in London and supported Of Monsters and
Men at Brixton Academy in November 2015.[18] Aurora recorded a cover of the Oasis track "Half the
World Away" for the 2015 John Lewis Christmas advert.[19] Her next single, which came after "Half The
World Away", was released in January 2016, titled "Conqueror" and a music video was uploaded the
following month. Her debut album All My Demons Greeting Me as a

Friend was eventually released on 11 March 2016,[20] receiving
generally positive reviews from critics. After releasing it, she went on
to embark on her European tour, making a number of visits to the UK
in between. She featured in British band Icarus' song "Home" and
released a cover of David Bowie's Life on Mars.
On 14 March 2016, Aurora made her American television debut on

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing "Conqueror".
Aurora soon after performed the track on Conan.[21] On 25 July 2016
she performed her cover of "Life on Mars" on The Howard Stern
Show. The following night on 26 July, she performed "I Went Too
Far" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
2016–2019: Two part album

Aurora Aksnes at Green Man
Festival 2015. When All My Demons
Greeting Me as a Friend
debuted, Aurora said that
it was "the first album of many". As of 12 May 2016, after
coming back from her European tour, the singer announced
that she was ready to begin writing and producing more
material, which will form her second studio album. She
stated in a Facebook event that she has fifteen demo songs
and has written a thousand songs/poems. Since the
announcement, Aurora has released "I Went Too Far" as a AURORA pictured at a club in Paris, France,
single. A music video for the track was released on 4 July in March 2018.
2016.
Between April and August 2018, the singer released two

singles, "Queendom" and "Forgotten Love",[22][23] which would be included in the first half of a two-part
album divided into "steps".[24] Aksnes recorded the album during her stay in France in January of that
year, and the production included the producers Askjell Solstrand, Roy Kerr and Tim Bran, with Aurora
herself also involved in this aspect.[25] Some of that new material was anticipated in live performances,
including festivals like Lollapalooza and Coachella.[26][27]
While maintaining some of the themes and stories of the previous album, this production would mark
the first time that Aurora has incorporated themes of politics and sexuality into her music.[28] Most of
the new inspiration came from the interaction that she had with her fans during her first tour.[29] The
music video for "Queendom" saw its release in May 2018, which presented themes of inclusivity and
empowerment of "the underdog", particularly her LGBT fans. In the video, Aurora kisses one of her
female dancers to convey that "every type of love is accepted and embraced" in her "queendom".[30]
On September 28, 2018, the singer surprisingly released the first half of her second album on EP
format,[24] under the title Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1). The EP features eight songs,[31] and the
title itself comes from the eighth track included on it, which Aurora declared as "the most important
song I've ever written".[32] A Different Kind of Human (Step 2) followed on June 7, 2019.
On 12 April 2019, Aurora contributed to three songs on The Chemical Brothers' ninth album No
Geography.[33]
On 4 November 2019, the soundtrack to the Disney film Frozen II was released, with Aurora providing
backing vocals on the song "Into the Unknown". On 9 February 2020 she performed the song onstage as
part of the 92nd Academy Awards. She released her solo version of this song on 3 March 2020.
2020–present: New era
Aurora released in May 2020 the ballad "Exist For Love", which was presented as her first love song ever
with a self-directed music video.[34] The song was made during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in
collaboration with Isobel Waller-Bridge, who composed the string arrangements.[34] It was the first
glimpse into what she described as "a new era" in her career, with the upcoming release of a new
album.[35]
Influences
Aurora has mentioned Enya, Bob Dylan, Underworld, Leonard Cohen, and Björk as her influences. She
also stated in a BBC Radio 2 interview that she had great love for many Scandinavian metal bands, as
well as David Bowie.[36]
Personal life
Aurora has mentioned that she has been in relationships with men and women. When asked in an
interview about her sexuality, she stated, "I just like to enjoy what is there, and I like to explore. Just love
everything around you and you’re loving yourself."[37] Aurora's mother is a midwife and her father is a
garage door salesman.[38] Aurora has two older siblings. Her sister Viktoria is a fashion designer, stylist,
and blogger.[39][40] Her oldest sister, Miranda, is a makeup artist and former teacher.[41]
Aurora did not originally expect to perform music professionally, preferring to keep her music private: "I
never really wanted to sing, or to be on the stage at all," she said. "I just wanted to write, maybe become a
doctor or a physicist or something of that kind."[42] When she was 16, Aurora performed a "really long
and boring song about world peace" at her high school's leaving ceremony and a classmate put the video
online. Around the same time, a friend uploaded a track Aurora had recorded as a Christmas gift for her
parents to SoundCloud.[7][43] These two songs were discovered by a representative of Made
Management, a Norwegian management company, who invited Aurora to visit their office for a meeting
in early 2013.[44][45] "At first I thought no," she recalls. "But then my mum said I should think about the
idea of sharing my music with the world because maybe there's someone out there who desperately
needs it. And that could actually be a good thing."[43] In a few hours, both songs received thousands of
visits in Norway, which earned Aurora some recognition in her country, in addition to a fan base on
Facebook.[45][11][46] Aurora then set about working on her songwriting for around a year before giving
her "first proper live performance" at a Norwegian music festival. "I don’t think I was born to be an
entertainer, I used to really be afraid of playing live on-stage. Obviously it’s terrifying! But now I look
forward to it every time. I’ve learned not focus on myself, cause it’s not about me. Now I only think about
giving everyone the best experience. A magic moment."[10][47]
