Aurora Aksnes (Norwegian pronunciation: [æʉ̯ˈɾùːɾɑ ˈɑ̂ksˌneːs]; born 15 June 1996), known simply as Aurora (stylized in all capital letters), is a Norwegian singer, songwriter and record producer. Known for her introspective songwriting, ethereal soundscapes, and emotional depth, Aurora is a defining figure in contemporary Nordic pop and widely referred to as the "Fairy of Pop".[4]

Aurora first gained recognition as a teenager in Norway, quickly emerging as one of the country's most notable pop acts of the 2010s. Her debut studio album, All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend (2016), incorporated electropop and folk as musical styles. The album topped the Norwegian Albums Chart for two consecutive weeks and was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Her follow-up project was a two-part concept album: Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1) was released in 2018, with A Different Kind of Human (Step 2) arriving in 2019. Her fourth studio album, The Gods We Can Touch (2022), became her first top 10 entry in the UK and her second number one in Norway. This was followed by her fifth studio album, What Happened to the Heart? (2024), which became her second top 10 album in the UK and also charted within the top 10 in Scotland, Germany, Norway, and the Netherlands.

Known for blending electropop, folk, and art pop, she has been described as a pioneer of the Norwegian art pop scene. Initially trained on piano, Aurora gradually expanded her musical involvement to include percussion and production. Beyond her solo work, Aurora has collaborated with a range of artists including Jacob Collier, Wu Qing-feng, Ane Brun, Sondre Lerche, Tom Odell, Askjell and the Chemical Brothers. In 2022, she worked with renowned composer Hans Zimmer, contributing vocals to the Frozen Planet II soundtrack.

Aurora's accolades include four Spellemannprisen, three Norwegian GAFFA Awards, and a nomination for a MTV Europe Music Award. She appeared in the 2025 edition of Forbes 30 Under 30. As of July 2021, Aurora had sold over one million albums worldwide.

Early life

[edit]

Aurora was born on 15 June 1996 at Stavanger University Hospital in Stavanger, the youngest of three daughters to midwife May Britt (née Froastad) and garage door salesman Jan Øystein Aksnes.[5][6] Her oldest sister, Miranda, is a makeup artist and former teacher.[7] Her other sister Viktoria is a fashion designer, stylist, and blogger.[8][9] She spent her first three years in Høle, a small town where her parents had lived for 15 years.[5] In Høle, Aurora developed her taste for nature, singing, and traditional clothing, such as hats and long skirts.[5] Later the family moved further north in western Norway,[5] to a house in the small village of Drange,[10] located in the woodlands of the Os mountains, a remote municipality in Hordaland, near Bergen and Lysefjord (a fjord which translates to "fjord of light").[11] Aurora said of this place that: "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."[12] She has also compared it to the fictional land of Narnia.[13][14]

She calls herself a "forest person" due to being surrounded by nature, her love of "climb[ing] trees", and being "isolated, safe and hidden".[15] She has also shown interest in the ocean, since she lived close to the sea, and her parents have a sailboat.[15][16] When she attended school, her sisters—Miranda (currently her makeup artist) and Viktoria Aksnes (currently her costume designer)—worried that she might be bullied due to her eccentric personality and style of dress.[17] Instead, Aurora's classmates asked for more time than she was willing to give, and she instead preferred to spend time in the forest.[18] She also claimed that withdrawing into natural spaces gave her time to philosophize and discover the "power" of her own mind.[19] As a child, she states that "I used to be terrified of people who wanted to hug me"; "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."[20]

One of her earliest musical memories is finding an electric piano in her parents' attic that once belonged to her sister Miranda. She remembers being fascinated by the melodies that could be produced on that instrument[21] and singing along to the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" around the family table.[22] Her parents sang that song in a choir as a hobby. Aurora is the only member of her family to pursue a musical career.[23] She started learning to play piano when she was six by playing the songs she listened to: "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."[21] At age nine, she began writing songs.[13] She has mentioned being influenced at that time by artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Enya, and the Chemical Brothers.[24][25]

Her parents did not encourage her to pursue this activity as a career or hobby, but she went from imitating classical music to composing her own material, preferring to keep her music private.[13][21][26] She also aspired to become a doctor, a physicist or a dancer,[27] and she took dance classes from 6 to 16 years old and performed in a contemporary dance group.[28] The group participated at the Norwegian Youth Festival of Art twice, dancing with the songs "Decode" by Paramore and "Feeling Good" in the background.[29][30] They also danced to Michael Jackson's "Ghosts" at an event in 2011.[31] She also expressed that her dislike of her own voice was a reason not to think of being a singer.[32]

According to Aurora, the first song she ever finished writing was titled "The Lonely Man".[33] The first job she had before embarking on her music career was washing a pizza restaurant on the outside using a hose.[33] Several songs were written at this stage of her life.[34][35] Another of her early compositions was "I Had a Dream", which referred to how hard the world can be.[25][23] Although she considered it a "really long and boring song about world peace", she performed it once at her high school's leaving ceremony. The recording of her song "Puppet" (which was originally made as a Christmas gift for her parents) and a video filmed by a classmate of her school performance were uploaded online without her permission, which made her angry.[13][36] She was soon discovered by a representative of the agency of Artists Made Management, a Norwegian management company, who invited Aurora to visit their office for a meeting in early 2013.[37][38] Aurora initially denied the proposal: "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".[36] In a few hours, both songs received thousands of visits in Norway, which earned Aurora a fan base on Facebook.[38][21][39]

When Aurora self-released her debut single "Puppet" in December 2012 under her birth name, it garnered attention in Norway, signaling early promise.[40] Following the song's local success, she signed a recording contract with Petroleum Records, Decca, and Glassnote Records in 2014.[41] That same year, Aurora was named Untouched of the Week for the single "Awakening" at the NRK Urørt, a Norwegian radio program from NRK P3.[42] Her third single, "Under Stars", was released in December 2014 as her first release through Glassnote and Decca.[43] Both "Awakening" and "Under Stars" drew critical praise in Europe and the United States, with particular emphasis on her distinctive voice, earning her recognition as a promising artist for 2015.[44][45][46][47] Her next single, "Runaway", released in February 2015,[48] attracted the attention of prominent artists including Katy Perry and Troye Sivan.[49][50]

The release of "Running with the Wolves" in April 2015,[51] accompanied by a music video two months later, further expanded her growing audience, particularly after receiving airplay from BBC Radio.[52] The single coincided with the announcement of her debut EP, Running with the Wolves, released in May 2015.[53] The EP was well-received by online music publications and national media outlets. To promote it, Aurora performed at several major summer festivals, including Way Out West, Wilderness, and Green Man. Her next single, "Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)", released in September 2015, was praised by the national press and received widespread support from radio and music blogs.[54]

In December 2015, Aurora performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert,[55] an event she had watched with her family for many years, describing the experience as "an incredibly beautiful thing to be a part of."[56] Her performance was praised by host Jay Leno.[57] That same year, she sold out a headline show in London and supported Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men at Brixton Academy.[58] In November 2015, she recorded a cover of Oasis' "Half the World Away" for the annual John Lewis Christmas advert.[59] Her following single, "Conqueror", was released in January 2016, accompanied by a music video the next month. Prior to its official release, the song had appeared on the soundtrack of FIFA 16.[60]

In early 2016, Aurora was featured on the British electronic duo Icarus' track "Home" and contributed a cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars" for the HBO series Girls.[61] That year, she won the Spellemannprisen for Newcomer of the Year, along with a scholarship of 250,000 kroner granted by Gramo.[62] After a prolific start with her first musical productions, Aurora released her debut studio album All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend in March 2016,[63] receiving widespread acclaim from critics.[64] It earned a Spellemann nomination for Album of the Year[65] and had sold 500,000 copies worldwide as of September 2018.[66] The album's release was followed by an international concert tour beginning in the Netherlands, which extended for more than a year.

In March 2016, Aurora made her American television debut performing "Conqueror" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, later appearing on Conan.[67] In July, she performed her rendition of "Life on Mars" on The Howard Stern Show, followed by a performance of "I Went Too Far" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which was later issued as the album's fifth single. Aurora also became one of the first artists to partner with YouTube in a creative content initiative,[68] starring a documentary titled Nothing is Eternal, directed by Isaac Ravishankara and produced by The Fader.[69]

At the 2017 Spellemannprisen, Aurora won two out of three nominations: Music Video of the Year for "I Went Too Far", directed by Arni & Kinski, and Pop Soloist for All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend.[70]

2017–2019: Infections of a Different Kind and A Different Kind of Human

[edit]

Following the release of All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, Aurora expressed that it was "the first album of many" she intended to release.[71] In May 2016, shortly after returning from her European tour, she announced that she was beginning the writing and production process for her second studio album. The following year, Aurora contributed a cover of "Scarborough Fair" for the Brazilian telenovela Deus Salve o Rei, which also featured her in the opening sequence.[72]

In 2018, Aurora released two singles—"Queendom"[73] and "Forgotten Love"[74]—which would later appear on the first half of a two-part album divided into "steps".[75] She recorded the album during a stay in France in January of that year, collaborating with producers Askjell Solstrand, Roy Kerr, and Tim Bran, with Aurora herself heavily involved in production.[15] Several of the new songs were previewed during live performances at major festivals, including Lollapalooza and Coachella.[76][77]

While maintaining some of the lyrical themes from her debut, the new material marked a shift in Aurora’s songwriting, exploring topics related to politics, sexuality, and empowerment for the first time.[78] Much of the inspiration stemmed from her interactions with fans during her debut tour.[79] The music video for "Queendom", released in May 2018, embraced themes of inclusivity, particularly celebrating her LGBTQ+ fanbase; it included a scene in which Aurora kissed a female dancer, symbolizing that "every type of love is accepted and embraced" in her "queendom".[80]

On 28 September 2018, Aurora released Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1), the first half of her two-part project.[66] The eight-track release took its name from the closing track, which Aurora described as "the most important song I've ever written".[81] The second part, A Different Kind of Human (Step 2), followed on 7 June 2019, led by the singles "Animal" and "The River". Between 2018 and 2019, Aurora performed at several music festivals, including Glastonbury in England,[82] Groovin' the Moo in Australia, and Outside Lands in the United States. A headlining tour in support of both albums began in Manchester in late 2018.[83]

In April 2019, Aurora contributed vocals and co-writing credits to three songs—"Eve of Destruction", "Bango", and "The Universe Sent Me"—on No Geography, the ninth studio album by British electronic duo The Chemical Brothers.[84] Later that year, she provided backing vocals for the song "Into the Unknown" from Disney's Frozen II, released in November 2019.[85] Aurora performed the track live at the 92nd Academy Awards in February 2020 alongside Idina Menzel and a chorus of international singers representing the song's translations.[85] She later released her own solo version of "Into the Unknown" as a standalone single in March 2020.[86]

In May 2020, Aurora released "Exist for Love", which was presented as her first love song and accompanied by a self-directed music video.[87] Created during the COVID-19 lockdown in collaboration with Isobel Waller-Bridge, who arranged the strings, the track marked the beginning of what Aurora described as "a new era" in her career.[88] Later that year, she recorded the title track for the Christmas miniseries Stjernestøv for Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, under the musical direction of Gaute Tønder.[89] Around the same time, she contributed vocals to "Vinterens Gåte" and "Det Ev Ei Rosa Sprunge" from Juleroser, an album by Herborg Kråkevik featuring the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra.[90] She also re-recorded her 2015 single "Running with the Wolves" for the animated film Wolfwalkers.[91]

In early 2021, Aurora's "Runaway" experienced a resurgence after going viral on the video-sharing platform TikTok as part of the "Runaway challenge,"[92][93][94] in which users struck poses against freeze-framed backdrops of "starry skies."[92][95] The song entered various international charts, peaking at number 22 on the Billboard Global 200[96] and number 25 in the United Kingdom.[97] The renewed attention contributed to a significant increase in global streams, with the track surpassing 3 billion streams across all platforms by 2025.[98] The second single from her upcoming album, "Cure for Me", was released in July 2021,[99] followed by "Giving In to the Love" in October,[100] alongside the announcement of her third studio album The Gods We Can Touch, scheduled for release in January 2022.[100] To promote the album, Aurora announced The Gods We Can Touch Tour set for 2022, with Sub Urban, Sei Selina, and Metteson as supporting acts.[101] "Heathens", the album’s fourth single, was released in December 2021, followed by a virtual concert film premiered exclusively on Moment House shortly after the album's release in January 2022.[102][103]

A collaboration with the video game Sky: Children of the Light, in which she had previously contributed vocals to the opening and closing themes, launched in October 2022 and included a virtual concert that premiered after The Game Awards in December.[115][116] The concert returned in August 2023 for an official attempt to break the Guinness World Record for "Most Users in a Concert-themed Virtual World".[117]

Influences

[edit]

At home, she did not have access to radio or music channels on television; she admitted that she had listened to very few artists at the beginning of her singing career.[134] She has mentioned Enya,[24] Bob Dylan,[24] Leonard Cohen,[24] the Beatles,[135] Johnny Cash,[136] Underworld,[137] Oasis, Björk,[138][139] Kate Bush,[68] and Ane Brun[140] as her major influences. She said that the first album she bought was Dylan's Blonde on Blonde.[33] 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.[141] 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."[142] Aurora has also listened to the bands Mastodon, System of a Down, Tool, Metallica, Refused, and Slayer.[141][142][140] 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.[143] Her love for heavy metal inspired her compilation EP For the Metal People, which included some of her songs influenced by the genre.[142] 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."[68] 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.[144]

She has covered some of her influences' songs, some of them are "Mr. Tambourine Man",[145] "Famous Blue Raincoat",[146] "Life on Mars",[147] "Across the Universe",[135] and "Make You Feel My Love".[148] About recent influences, Aurora stated that she dislikes listening to music, which she described as "noise" or "interference" for her, adding that she has "music in my mind all the time".[149] She also said that she does not have streaming platforms like iTunes and Spotify but she has "some LPs at home and a few CDs." She added she only likes to listen to some of her influences' music during travelling.[137]

Musical style and themes

[edit]

On Aurora's profile at Glassnote Records' website, she is quoted as stating:[150]

"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."

Aurora has an eclectic musical style, consisting of art pop,[16][151] Nordic-folk,[152] synth-pop,[152] electropop,[153] electro-folk,[154] dark pop,[155] avant-garde pop,[156] alt-pop,[157][158] folk-pop,[159] and new-age.[149] Often described as a pioneer of the Norwegian art pop scene,[129] she is considered one of the most successful Norwegian artists.[112][113][160] Haley Weiss of Interview introduces her as a "poetic author of art-pop" and an "unaffectedly curious artist".[16] John Murphy of MusicOMH describes her songs as a "beguiling mix of sizzling synth-pop, and for want of a better phrase, Nordic-folk".[152] Michael Craag of The Guardian describes her to be "dark electro-pop".[153] Cyclone Wehner from Music Feeds said her music has attracted her a cult fanbase with her "darkly romantic electro-folk" along with her eccentricity.[154] Writing for Paper, Mathias Rosenzweig sees her as "Scandinavia's newest dark pop prodigy" with her love for Nordic folklore, similar to Björk's interest of Icelandic mountains and countrysides. Rosenzweig also mentioned her "unexpected melodic twists" akin to Sia with the "prodigy vibes" of Lorde.[155] Ed Potton of The Times referred to her as "the Norwegian Florence and the Machine".[161] Lisa Higgins from Clash, describes her as an artist with an avant-garde pop sound,[156] while Jessica Fynn from the same magazine sees her as an "alt-pop aesthete".[157] Chris Tinkham of Paste says that she has a "dark folk-pop" sound.[159]

Aurora has a soprano vocal range.[162] The word "ethereal" has often been used to qualify her tone of voice,[20][163][164][165] while the repeated use of vocals (like "ah", "oh" and "la") has also been pointed out as something characteristic in her music.[163][166][167] Aurora composes her songs in English.[168] She has sung songs like "Stjernestøv", "Vinterens Gåte" and "Det Hev Ei Rosa Sprunge" in her native language.[89][90] Since Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1) she began to include lyrics in an "emotional language" that she invented in favor of changing the energy and meaning of her performance.[169] She mostly plays the piano, but also knows how to play other instruments like ukulele, guitar and the harp.[140][170] She is sometimes involved in percussion and other aspects of the production of her songs.[171][18]

Personal life

[edit]

Aurora currently lives in Bergen, but regularly travels to her hometown in Os to visit her parents.[16] She is fluent in English and in Norwegian, the latter being her mother tongue.[169]

At an early age, she experienced the loss of several loved ones. When a close friend of her family died on Christmas Eve, 11-year-old Aurora witnessed people dejected at the funeral service. This experience led her to develop dysphemia, a disorder that led her to learn sign language.[18] When a friend from her sign language class died in a car accident in 2014, Aurora performed a currently unreleased song titled "Why Did You Go a Place?" during a private concert for her funeral.[172] A friend from Os also died by suicide, and another friend with whom Aurora had a relationship died in 2011 at the Utøya massacre at the age of 17.[18] Aurora wrote the song "Little Boy in the Grass" as a tribute to the latter and the other victims of the massacre.[173]

She considers herself an introvert.[174]

Aurora is bisexual,[175] having previously resisted labelling her sexuality. In an interview with The Independent in 2018, 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."[137]

She had cats as pets during her childhood,[18] and in her adulthood she had an algae ball she named "Igor Septimus", which was a gift from her fans in Switzerland. According to her, it was one of her "best friends", and she liked to put it on the refrigerator.[176] Years later, she revealed that it had died.[18][177] She has also talked about collecting dead insects, including moths like the one she named "Nightcrawler".[23]

In November 2021, Aurora announced that she had become an aunt when her sister's first child was born.[178]

Public image and philanthropy

[edit]

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.[179][180][181] This visual presentation contrasted with the emotional depth and vocal maturity of her music.[181][182] She later adopted a partially shaved hairstyle described as "Norwegian Viking",[13][61] 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.[162] 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."[183] 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.[184]

Her wardrobe primarily consists of reused garments, many of which are designed by Aurora herself in collaboration with her sister Viktoria.[87][162] A pescatarian,[185] Aurora has emphasized the importance of conscious food choices as part of a broader environmentally aware lifestyle.[186]

Aurora identifies as a feminist[137] and advocates for a range of human rights causes, including racial equality and LGBT rights.[187][188] She has publicly stated a personal preference for avoiding makeup.[61] She has 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.[171][189] She has expressed admiration for environmental initiatives by figures such as Greta Thunberg and the band Coldplay.[190]

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.[189] 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), SOS Rainforest (in support of indigenous communities and rainforests in Africa, Asia, and South America), and the Exist For Love Sessions (to promote emerging artists).[191][192][193][194][195] In November 2021, she headlined a non-profit charity event during COP26 to raise funds for Brian Eno's EarthPercent organization.[190] She has also been politically vocal, particularly during the 2023–2024 Gaza War, during which she called for a permanent ceasefire.[196][197]
