She credits renowned composers Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan for inspiration, as well as an appreciation for the style of Bjork. Responding to her mother's advice that her children ought not to aim to be famous through the songs she writes, but rather recognize the significance of their lives and the impact they have on society. She began playing the piano at age six and writing music at age nine. This was not known by her family until she turned fourteen. Aurora has never imagined being famous. She just loves to write songs. Music is her most preferred way of feeling anything.
