Aurora Asknes, who performs exclusively under her first name, is a unique pop musician who differs greatly from the western conception of the genre. She conveys a single message of optimism and love with a connection to the outside world, to nature, and to other people. Despite the fact that some have compared her to Björk, Aurora is different, with a much more human purity and still a long way to go. Her songs, which are based on synthesizers and electronic sounds, serve as anthems for a generation that is searching for hope in the midst of darkness.

Running with the Wolves, the debut album by Aurora, was released in May 2015 by Decca Records, Glassnote and Petroleum Records. She gained international recognition in 2015 after performing “Half The World Away” by Oasis for a Christmas commercial for the UK retailer John Lewis. After receiving a lot of positive feedback from national media and music bloggers online, on March 11, 2016, “All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend,” her debut studio album, finally became available. Later in 2018, she released her second album/ EP, “Infections of a Different Kind” - Step 1 followed by her third studio album, “A Different Kind of Human” -

Step 2, which was published in 2019. Her fourth and last studio album The Gods We Can Touch, was released on January 21, 2022.
