Katy Perry, who endorsed the song Runaway from her side, has given the song a boost of recognition. Make it a special day. Aurora Aksnes' earliest memory of music was discovering a grand piano that was in the attic. She was fascinated by its capabilities. Jan Oystein Aksnes and May-Britt Aksnes encouraged Aurora to study music, not as an income or as a pastime however, as a chance to grow. The Aksnes family encouraged her to compose. She cites renowned songwriters Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan for inspiration, as well as a love for Bjork's style. Her mom encouraged her to play her music in front of the public, but not in order to gain fame but rather to let others know the importance of their work and the good they do for the world. She began playing the piano as her primary instrument, at six. She began writing music when she turned nine. It was unknown to her family members until she was fourteen. Aurora wasn't a childhood dream. Her only passion is to compose music. For her, music is the best way to feel anything.
