1996–2011: Early life

Aurora Aksnes was born on 15 June 1996 at Stavanger University Hospital in Stavanger, Norway, the youngest of three daughters to midwife May Britt Froastad and garage door salesman Jan Øystein Aksnes.[6][7] Her eldest sister, Miranda, is a makeup artist and former teacher,[8] while her other sister, Viktoria, is a fashion designer, stylist, and blogger.[9][10] Aurora spent her early years in Høle, a small town where her parents had lived for 15 years,[6] fostering her love for nature, singing, and traditional clothing, such as hats and long skirts.[6] The family later relocated to Drange,[6][11] a remote village in the woodlands of the Os mountains in Hordaland, near Bergen and Lysefjord.[12] Aurora described Drange as a quiet, car-free area with bumpy roads, abundant trees, and poor internet connectivity,[13] likening it to the fictional land of Narnia.[14][15]

Growing up surrounded by nature, Aurora identified as a "forest person", enjoying activities like climbing trees and valuing the isolation and safety of her environment.[16] Her proximity to the sea and her parents' ownership of a sailboat also sparked her interest in the ocean.[16][17] At school, her sisters worried she might face bullying due to her eccentric personality and distinctive style of dress,[18] but Aurora found her classmates overly attentive, preferring instead to retreat into forests.[19] She credited these solitary moments in nature with helping her philosophise and discover the "power" of her own mind.[20] As a child, Aurora was uncomfortable with physical affection, expressing a dislike for being hugged and recalling a fear of one of her teachers, though she later found meeting him as an adult to be a positive experience.[21] Her childhood was also enriched by caring for pet cats and an unusual hobby of collecting dead insects,[19] such as moths,[22] which became a symbol of her debut studio album.[23]

One of her earliest musical memories is finding an electric pianist in her parents' attic, previously owned by her sister Miranda, which captivated her as a child.[24] She recalls singing along to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" with her family, who performed it in a choir as a hobby,[25] though Aurora was the only family member to pursue music professionally.[22] At age six, she began learning piano, initially imitating classical music before composing her own melodies, drawn to the emotional depth of playing alone.[24] By age nine, she started writing songs,[14] influenced by artists such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Enya, and the Chemical Brothers.[26][27]

Aurora's early life was also marked by the loss of several loved ones. At age 11, she attended a funeral service on Christmas Eve, an event that contributed to her developing dysphemia, a speech disorder that prompted her to learn sign language.[19] A friend from her sign language class died in a car accident, and Aurora performed an unreleased song containing the lyrics "Why did you go somewhere I couldn't follow?" at a private memorial concert.[28] She also faced the loss of two close friends: one to suicide in Os and another in the 2011 Utøya massacre at age 17.[19] As a tribute to the latter and other victims of the tragedy, Aurora wrote the song "Little Boy in the Grass", which was later released in 2015.[29]

2012–2013: Career beginnings

Initially, Aurora kept her music private, as her parents did not encourage it as a career or hobby.[14][24][30] She also explored other ambitions, including becoming a doctor, physicist, or dancer,[31] and trained in dance from ages 6 to 16, performing in a contemporary dance group at the Norwegian Youth Festival of Art with songs like Paramore's "Decode" and Michael Jackson's "Ghosts".[32] Her dislike of her own voice initially deterred her from considering a singing career.[33]

Aurora's earliest known composition was "The Lonely Man",[34] followed by "I Had a Dream", which addressed global challenges.[27][22] Although she considered it a "really long and boring song about world peace", she performed it once at her high school's leaving ceremony. Before pursuing music, Aurora worked briefly washing the exterior of a pizza restaurant.[34] Her breakthrough came unexpectedly when a classmate uploaded a recording of her song "Puppet"—originally a Christmas gift for her parents—and a video of her school performance of "I Had a Dream" to the internet without her permission, sparking her anger.[14][35] The uploads quickly gained thousands of views in Norway, building her an early fan base on Facebook.[36][24][37] In early 2013, a representative from Made Management, a Norwegian management company, discovered her work and invited her to their office.[38][36] Though initially hesitant, Aurora was persuaded by her mother to consider sharing her music, recognising its potential to resonate with others.[35]

2014–2017: All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend

Following the success of her single "Puppet" in Norway,[39] Aurora signed recording contracts with Petroleum, Decca, and Glassnote Records in 2014.[40] That same year, she released two additional singles, "Awakening" and "Under Stars", with the former earning her the title of Untouched of the Week at NRK Urørt, a radio programme from NRK P3.[41][42] Aurora's distinctive vocal style and musicality garnered critical acclaim across Europe and the United States,[43][44][45] establishing her as a promising artist.[46] In May 2015, she released her debut EP, Running with the Wolves,[47][48] which received positive reviews from online music publications and Norwegian media, boosted by airplay on BBC Radio.[49] The EP's lead single, "Runaway", became a resurgent success in 2021 after going viral on TikTok through a trend,[50][51] reaching number 22 on the Billboard Global 200 and number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.[52][53] The track was cited by Billie Eilish as the inspiration for her decision to pursue a career in music.[54]

Following the EP's release, Aurora performed at major summer festivals, including Way Out West, Wilderness, and Green Man. Her subsequent single, "Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)", released in September 2015, received widespread acclaim from radio stations, music blogs, and Norwegian press.[55] Later that year, she recorded a cover of Oasis' "Half the World Away" for the annual John Lewis Christmas advert,[56] which peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart, marking her first chart entry in the UK.[57] In December, she performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert,[58] an event she described as "deeply meaningful," having watched it with her family for years.[59] Host Jay Leno praised her performance.[60]

Aurora's debut studio album, All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, was released in March 2016 to critical acclaim.[61] The album's vivid lyrical themes about fantasy, heartache, life, and death,[62] drew comparisons to Björk, Florence Welch, Enya, and Lykke Li.[63][64][65] It topped Norway's VG-lista for two consecutive weeks and marked Aurora as the first Norwegian debutant to achieve a number-one debut on the chart since Emilie Nicolas in 2014.[66] All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend earned a Spellemann Award for Pop Soloist and a nomination for Album of the Year,[67][68] and had sold 500,000 copies worldwide as of September 2018.[69] Prior to its release, Aurora performed a headline concert at the Oseana Art and Cultural Centre in Os, which sold out 1,150 tickets in record time.[70][71] She subsequently embarked on a year-long international concert tour, commencing in North America.[72]

In April 2018, Aurora released "Queendom" as the lead single from her upcoming two-part album,[84] followed by "Forgotten Love" in August.[85][86] The album, recorded in France earlier that year with producers Askjell, Roy Kerr, and Tim Bran, saw Aurora deeply involved in the production process.[16] The new material explored themes of politics, sexuality, and empowerment, inspired by interactions with fans during her debut tour, while maintaining some lyrical continuity with her first album.[87][88] The music video for "Queendom", released in May 2018, emphasised inclusivity, particularly for her LGBTQ+ fanbase, featuring a scene where Aurora kissed a female dancer to symbolise acceptance of all forms of love.[89] She previewed several new songs at festivals such as Lollapalooza and Coachella.[90][91] The first part, Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1), an eight-track release, was released in September 2018, with Aurora describing its closing track as "the most important song I've ever written."[69][92] The second part, A Different Kind of Human (Step 2), followed in June 2019, with "Animal" and "The Seed" as singles.[93] Aurora supported both releases with a headlining tour starting in Manchester in late 2018 and performances at festivals including Glastonbury,[94] Groovin' the Moo,[95] and Outside Lands.[96][97]

She said that the first album she bought was Dylan's Blonde on Blonde.[34] She also talked about heavy metal as a major inspiration for her from a young age, citing French band Gojira as her "favorite band", and she has attended two of their concerts.[164] She first listened to one of their songs when she was around 11 years old and described it as "so hard and so intense and dark, and it felt like an explosion."[165] Aurora has also listened to the bands Mastodon, System of a Down, Tool, Metallica, Refused, and Slayer.[164][165][157] She also stated in a BBC Radio 2 interview that she had a great love for many Scandinavian heavy metal bands as well as David Bowie.[166] Her love for heavy metal inspired her compilation EP For the Metal People, which included some of her songs influenced by the genre.[165] Aurora also expressed her admiration for rock musician Iggy Pop, adding that when she met him during a festival in Belgium, she was "so happy I almost peed my pants."[80] She and the frontman of Nordic folk band Wardruna have shown admiration for each other's work, and performed the song "Helvegen" together several times.[167]

She added she only likes to listen to some of her influences' music during travelling.[163]

Musical style and themes

"I don't want to write sad songs only to make people sad, I'll end up with lots of depressed fans. That's not my goal at all. But I want people to know that it's not dangerous to cry or think of something sad for a while. It's easier to think about it through a song, which can also be beautiful while being sad. It's like taking medicine with a teaspoon of sugar. It's important to have some hope."

– Statement by Aurora on her profile at the Glassnote Records website.[173]

Aurora's musical style encompasses a diverse range of genres, including art pop,[17][174] Nordic folk,[175] synth-pop,[175] electropop,[176] electro-folk,[177] dark pop,[178] avant-garde pop,[156] alt-pop,[179][180] folk-pop,[181] and new-age.[172] She has been recognized as a pioneer of the Norwegian art pop scene,[148] establishing her as one of Norway's most prominent artists.[119][182][183] Critics have described her music in various terms: Haley Weiss of Interview characterizes her as a "poetic author of art-pop" and an "unaffectedly curious artist,"[17] while John Murphy of MusicOMH notes her songs blend "sizzling synth-pop" with Nordic folk influences.[175] Michael Cragg of The Guardian identifies her sound as "dark electro-pop,"[176] and Cyclone Wehner from Music Feeds highlights her "darkly romantic electro-folk" and distinctive eccentricity, which have attracted a cult fanbase.[177] Mathias Rosenzweig, writing for Paper, likens her to "Scandinavia's newest dark pop prodigy," drawing comparisons to Björk's fascination with natural landscapes and noting melodic similarities to Sia and Lorde.[178] Ed Potton of The Times compares her to Florence and the Machine,[184] and Lisa Higgins of Clash describes her as an avant-garde pop artist,[156] with Jessica Fynn from the same publication labeling her an "alt-pop aesthete."[179] Chris Tinkham of Paste categorizes her music as "dark folk-pop."[181]

Aurora possesses a soprano vocal range, with her voice frequently described as "ethereal" by critics.[21][185][186][187] Her use of vocal motifs, such as "ah", "oh", and "la", is a recurring characteristic in her music.[185][65][188] While she primarily composes in English,[189] she has also performed songs in Norwegian, including "Stjernestøv", "Vinterens Gåte", and "Det Hev Ei Rosa Sprunge".[104][105] Since her 2018 album Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1), Aurora has incorporated lyrics in an invented "emotional language" to enhance the emotional impact and meaning of her performances.[190][191] She is proficient in playing the piano and has knowledge of other instruments, including the ukulele, guitar, and harp.[157][192] Aurora occasionally contributes to the percussion and production aspects of her music.[193][19]

Aurora initially drew attention for her distinctive appearance, including a "childlike" look, pale skin without makeup, and short platinum blonde hair that matched the color of her eyebrows,[194][195][196] in contrast to her vocal maturity and emotional depth of her music.[196][197] She later adopted a partially shaved hairstyle described as "Norwegian Viking",[14][73] and from 2018 to 2024, she became known for a layered haircut—long in the front and short in the back—often compared to styles seen in anime.[198] During the promotional period between her releases Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1) and A Different Kind of Human (Step 2), Aurora frequently performed with facial markings that symbolized "tears and smile wrinkles."[199] Her onstage persona is often noted for its candid humor, shaped by her openness about intrusive thoughts, which she frequently shares with audiences during live performances.[200]

Her wardrobe primarily consists of reused garments, many of which are designed by Aurora herself in collaboration with her sister Viktoria.[102][198] A pescatarian,[201] Aurora has emphasized the importance of conscious food choices as part of a broader environmentally aware lifestyle.[202]

Aurora identifies as a feminist and advocates for a range of human rights causes, including racial equality and LGBT rights.[163][203][204] She identifies as an introvert and, in a 2018 interview with The Independent, described herself as bisexual, while expressing a preference for embracing love and exploration without rigid labels,[205][206] having previously resisted defining her sexuality. Aurora also showed support for various environmental awareness movements, topics that she explored in songs like "Apple Tree", "The Seed", and "Soulless Creatures" from her second and third albums.[193][207] She expressed admiration for environmental initiatives by figures such as Greta Thunberg and the band Coldplay.[208]

Aurora has been active in philanthropic and advocacy work. In October 2020, she performed her song "Warrior" for volunteers of the Clean Sounds Movement and called on fellow artists Billie Eilish and Sigrid to join the cause.[207] She participated in a number of online music festivals, including Vi er Live (a demonstration against racism and in response to the murder of George Floyd),[209] SOS Rainforest (in support of indigenous communities and rainforests in Africa, Asia, and South America),[210] and the Exist For Love Sessions (to promote emerging artists).[211][212] In November 2021, she headlined a non-profit charity event during COP26 to raise funds for Brian Eno's EarthPercent organization.[208] She has also been politically vocal, particularly during the 2023–2024 Gaza War, during which she called for a permanent ceasefire.[183][213]

Controversy

On 26 March 2023, as Aurora concluded her performance at Lollapalooza Brasil, her drummer, Sigmund Vestrheim, gestured with his hands in a manner that some social media users interpreted as a white supremacist dog whistle.[214] Two days later, online examination of Vestrheim's Instagram revealed what some users claimed were additional instances of dog whistles and Nazi symbolism, including a drawing featuring the numbers 777 and a swastika.[215] Aurora addressed the situation on her social media, stating that none of her band members support right-wing ideologies and denying that the drummer had any connection to hate movements.[214] A few days later, Aurora announced that Vestrheim would be replaced for the upcoming shows of the tour in Mexico, citing safety concerns.[216][217] In an interview with VG, Aurora confirmed that the drummer would be returning to the band and dismissed the accusations as "absurd," describing them as "nonsense and a waste of time."[217]
