He urged her not to do music just for fun or to aid in growth but rather, she should pursue it. Thus, she began with her own music. Bjork as well as Leonard Cohen are among her favourite writers. To counter her mother's suggestions that her children should not be aiming to become famous with their songwriting skills, she instead be aware of the significance of them and the impact they have on society. Her mother suggested that she be able to perform her music publicly in order to help people realize their own importance and how they impact the world. The family did not have any idea about it until she turned 14. Aurora had no idea of being famous. Aurora claims she loves composing songs. According to her, she believes music can make people feel more relaxed.
