About Kygo
Norwegian DJ and record producer Kygo, whose real name is Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, has taken the music industry by storm with his infectious beats and unique sound. With a career that skyrocketed to fame in just a few short years, Kygo is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.
It all started in 2013 when Kygo gained international attention for his remix of Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire." This remix showed off his incredible talent for blending electronic and house beats with catchy melodies, setting the stage for his rise to stardom. His single "Firestone" featuring Conrad Sewell in 2014 further solidified his position in the music industry.
In a remarkable achievement, Kygo became the fastest artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify in late 2015. By June 2016, he had reached an even more impressive milestone of 2 billion streams. Singles such as "Stole the Show," "Here for You," "Stay," and "It Ain't Me" have all contributed to his massive success.
Kygo's debut album, Cloud Nine, released in May 2016, showcased his talent and versatility as an artist. The album featured a range of collaborations with renowned artists, further amplifying his influence in the music industry.
In 2016, Kygo had the honor of becoming the first house music producer to perform at the Olympics closing ceremony. This groundbreaking achievement solidified his place among the music elite.
Not only is Kygo recognized for his incredible musical talents, but he was also ranked 3rd on Billboard's prestigious 2018 list of dance musicians. Additionally, DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs of the world placed him 32nd in 2018 and 42nd in 2019.
Born in Singapore to Norwegian parents and raised in Tønsberg, Kygo's upbringing was anything but ordinary. Having lived and traveled with his family through countries like Brazil, Japan, Kenya, and Egypt during his childhood, his exposure to diverse cultures and experiences has undoubtedly influenced his music.
Although primarily known as a DJ, Kygo's mastery of the piano sets him apart from his peers. Starting piano lessons at the age of six, he considers himself more of a pianist than a disc jockey.
Kygo draws inspiration from influential artists such as the late Avicii. The impact of Avicii's music proved to be a turning point in Kygo's career, motivating him to take his passion for music to unprecedented heights.
When it comes to his personal life, Kygo has captured the hearts of many with his talent, but he remains currently single, having previously been in a relationship with Maren Platou. Additionally, he's an avid Manchester United fan, with Juan Mata holding the esteemed position as his favorite player.
Beyond his musical accomplishments, Kygo's philanthropy is worth mentioning. In 2016, he donated $50,000 of the profits from his sold-out festival to Frank Mugisha, an activist for LGBTQ+ rights in Uganda. This gesture highlighted Kygo's commitment to making a positive impact in the world.
Kygo continues to captivate audiences with his infectious beats and uplifting melodies. Furthermore, his recent releases, including the English songs "Woke Up in Love" in September 2022, "Undeniable" in October 2021, "Family" in May 2021, and "How Would I Know" in May 2020, showcase his evolution as an artist while still maintaining his signature style.
With an incredible journey from a small-town musician to a global superstar, Kygo's talent and determination have propelled him to unparalleled heights in the music industry. As he continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide, there's no doubt that Kygo's star power will only continue to grow.
