Aurora has taken the world by storm, now she may become the "Bergenser (person form Bergen) of the year".
Aurora Aksnes (20) has become an international hit and is soon to end a very hectic year.
Her manager, Geir Luedy, thinks that her fans relate to the artist in a very special way.
- They have a lot of heart for her, he says.
But what is it about Aurora that makes her a super star?
- A lot of it is about her being a great artist. She has a unique voice, and I use that word in the widest sense. Because har vocal chords are just fantastic, but she's also a unique person who has a good rapport with other people.
- There's something about her that is deep and dark, yet at the same time funny and accessible. Because she portraits herself and the way she sees the world in a nice way, he adds.
Looking forward to Christmas
The 20-year old from Os has become an international hit in record time. The girl form Os also calls Bergen "her own city".
Right now she's touring the US with her band, and because of the time difference it's proven difficult to get the artist herself to comment.
Friday night she played in San Francisco, Sunday and Monday she'll do Los Angeles. Then there are another three American cities before she heads back to Norway. Here she'll play in Halden, Oslo, Tromsø, Stavanger and Drammen.
It's been a hectic year for the artist. In January she received the Norwegian Grammy for best new artist of 2015 and in March she released her debut album "All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend" that was lauded by the critics.
She's been on several stages all across the world and she's played for millions at the biggest US tv shows.
Even if she has played for millions she tells in an interview that she always wonders if anyone will turn up for her next concert.
- Aurora loves Christmas and is looking forward to some time off and spending time with her family, Luedy tells.
New music coming up
When Bergensavisen met with Aurora before her concert in Bergen in August the artist told us that she's working on new music. Or in her own words, "I'm write lyrics all the time".
- Before I used to finish a song and then have a little celebration for myself. But now I'm about to start a new song, and then suddenly I have to eat dinner of board a plane. Then I suddenly get the idea for another song. So I guess a have a thousand unfinished songs, she told us.
She doesn't know when this new material will be released. But every time she's home she's working in the studio.
- The more you give in to other people's ideas the more commercial you get. If you're very commercial you get a lot of power. Everyone wants the best for me, especially myself. But the next record will be very Aurora. There was a lot of Aurora in the debut as well, but that record is a bit more influenced by other people. More than I feel comfortable about, the artist and singer said about her next album.
