"There is both good and bad sides of life, and I deem it important to bring out the shadowed sides"
12th of December 2012.
Aurora has been in a studio with a friend to record a song on to a CD. It was supposed to be a gift to her mother come Christmas.
As a twist of fate, a close friend of hers uploaded the song to the Norwegian radio show "NRK Urørt". Two days (!) later it was played about 4.000 times, and it climbed all the way to the top of that list ("Urørt" means "Untouched"...).
At the time, the 16 year old girl was more into dancing. In 2011 she was selected into an elite dance troupe who participated in the Norwegian Youth Culture championship.
In an interview about the song and her songwriting, she said she had written 32 complete song, and that she had more ideas not written yet. "Puppet" was the first she ever recorded.
"There is both good and bad sides of life, and I deem it important to bring out the shadowed sides", she proceeds. "I write about this and hope that some people recognize themselves in my lyrics."
