Aurora Nishevci


Aurora Nishevci is an English musician and composer. She is best known as a member of the indie rock band the Last Dinner Party, in which she is a multi-instrumentalist and occasional vocalist.

Early life

Aurora Nishevci grew up in London and is of Kosovar Albanian descent through her family, who fled to England from the Yugoslav War. As her family assimilated into British culture, she felt shame as she lost her ability to speak Albanian; this influenced the song "Gjuha" on the band's debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy.

Education and career

During her GCSEs, Nishevci studied Music and English. Afterwards, she attended both Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the latter of which guitarist and future bandmate Emily Roberts also attended. Roberts joined the Last Dinner Party through a mutual friend, and Nishevci subsequently completed the line-up soon afterward. Additionally, she worked as a composer and a piano teacher prior to joining the band.
