Early life

Aurora Nishevci grew up in London ^[1] and is of Kosovar Albanian descent through her family, who fled to England from the Yugoslav War. ^[2] As her family assimilated into English culture, she felt shame as she lost her ability to speak Albanian; this influenced the song "Gjuha" (Albanian for "language" or "tongue") on the band's debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy . ^[3]
