Silja Sol Dyngeland (born April 13, 1990), better known by her stage name Silja Sol, is a recording artist from Bergen, Norway. She released five solo albums to date and also toured extensively with AURORA. Silja also works as a booking agent at Standing Ovation.

As a solo artist, Silja independently released her debut EP Tensed Situation in 2012 under her name Silja Dyngeland. When she released her debut album På hjertet in 2014, she changed her artist name to Silja Sol. In 2017 the singer won the Spellemann Best Indie Album award with Ni liv.

Aurora and Silja met professionally through their entrepreneurs in Made Management in 2014. Silja replaced another pianist at the last moment in Aurora's live show on 2/20/2014 at Nabovarsel Minifestival, despite not really knowing how to play the piano at the time. Silja then became a member of Aurora's band on backing vocals, bass synthesizer, and vocal/technical effects. She was the support act for various AURORA shows with her own set.

In early 2015 Silja left Aurora's touring band. In 2017 she joined again as a core member. On May 29, 2021, Silja announced her departure from Aurora's band, stating: "An era is over, and it's time for other things. Thank you for the adventure".

Silja's latest album Bak skyene released on October 21, 2022.
