One of her earliest musical memories is finding an electric piano in her parents' attic that once belonged to her sister Miranda, and being fascinated by the melodies it could produce on that instrument, [21] or sing along to the song " Don't Worry, Be Happy" around the family table. [22] Even though her parents sang that song in a choir as a hobby, Aurora is the only member in 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, when she had a better handle of the English language, 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]
