AURORA

Singer, songwriter and producer: AURORA (born Aurora Aksnes in 1996) has proven to be a three-sided talent. Furthermore, she has been nominated to – as well as performed at - the Academy Awards, toured all over the world, gained an extraordinary strong following in territories like South America and Eastern Europe, and collaborated with artists like The Chemical Brothers, as well as appearing as a guest on TV shows such as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers.

  • AURORA’s fourth album The Gods We Can Touch in was released in 2022. The album was critically praised, and sent the young singer’s international career towards new heights. The single Cure for Me became a viral hit largely thanks to TikTok, and in 2022 alone, she performed at venues such as Brixton Academy in London, The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Central Park Summer Stage in New York and the Rock en seine Festival in Paris. Recently, AURORA has also been featured in the video game Sky: Children Of Light as well as in the trailer for the new version of Assassin’s Creed.

    AURORA grew up surrounded by forests and mountains near Bergen, Norway, and was six years old when she first felt the urge to sit by herself and create music. By the time she was twelve, she had written Runaway; a song that when released many years later went on to reach the Top 40 Singles chart in the UK, and also asserted itself on the Spotify Global Top 20.

    In 2015, she released the single Half the World Away; her cover version of an Oasis song from 1994. The single reached 11th place in the UK singles chart, and in December that same year she performed three songs at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo.

    In 2016, AURORA’S debut album, All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, was released. For the album, she won the Norwegian Grammys in two categories, and she was listed by Rolling Stone as one of ten new artists you should know about.

    AURORA's second studio album, Infections Of A Different Kind (Step 1), was released in September 2018 as part one of a series. The second album, A Different Kind of Human (Step 2), was released in June, 2019. In November the same year, the soundtrack to Disney's animated film Frozen 2 was released, where AURORA participated with background vocals on the song Into the Unknown. She also provided the voice of The northern wind in the film. In January 2020, The Oscar Academy announced that the song had been nominated in the Best Original Score category. One month later, AURORA performed during the 92nd Academy Awards.

    In 2023, the singer will continue her journey to stages in South America, Asia and Australia (including a sold out concert at the Sydney Opera House) and in Europe.

    AURORA is known as a different pop star; she has an honest, often charmingly quirky stream-of-consciousness-way of expressing herself in interviews and public appearances, and her style and visual identity is typically created by herself and her two older sisters. She has named her fans Warriors and weirdos, and her lyrics frequently touches on topics like LGBTQ-rights, climate change, feminism and the feeling of being different. Throughout the singer’s career, her ethereal, atmospheric pop music, distinctive voice and lyrical messages has attracted a continuously growing, as well as extraordinary dedicated, fanbase all over the world.
