For Episode 8, SMM host Carmel Holt sits down with the Norwegian pop sensation AURORA! Born in 1996, Aurora Aksnes taught herself to play piano in secret as a six year-old, and wrote songs for years before her family discovered that she was a musical prodigy. Similar to Billie Eilish, who named AURORA's music as an influence to get into the music game, her music landed at a record label at 15, and she had a platinum-selling album before she turned 20. Carmel and AURORA sat down in New York City (safely!) to discuss her unique Mixtape Memoir... you'll hear tracks from Enya, Leonard Cohen and more!
