Aurora Aksnes was born on June 15, 1996, in Stavanger, Norway. Her early life in Høle and later Drange, a remote village in the Os mountains, fostered a deep connection to nature. She began learning piano at age six, composing her own melodies by age nine, influenced by diverse artists including Leonard Cohen and The Chemical Brothers. Her musical talent remained private until a classmate uploaded a recording of her song “Puppet” and a school performance of “I Had a Dream” online, which quickly gained traction and led to discovery by Made Management in 2013.
Aurora signed with Petroleum, Decca, and Glassnote Records in 2014, releasing singles “Awakening” and “Under Stars.” Her debut EP, “Running with the Wolves” (2015), garnered positive reviews, and its lead single, “Runaway,” achieved global success years later, notably in 2021 via TikTok. Her cover of Oasis’ “Half the World Away” for the John Lewis Christmas advert reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart in 2015. She performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert the same year and embarked on her first international tour.
Her debut studio album, “All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend” (2016), topped Norway’s VG-lista and earned her Spellemann Awards for Pop Soloist and Music Video of the Year. She followed with a two-part concept album, “Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1)” (2018) and “A Different Kind of Human (Step 2)” (2019). Her fourth album, “The Gods We Can Touch” (2022), achieved top-ten status in the UK and was her second number-one album in Norway. Most recently, her fifth album, “What Happened to the Heart?” (2024), charted within the top ten across multiple European countries and garnered Spellemann Award nominations.
