In the 2010s, the Norwegian electronic producer Kygo exploded into the mainstream with a tropical house sound that he used to remix Seinabo Sey's 'Younger,' Marvin Gaye's 'Sexual Healing' and Ed Sheeran's 'I See Fire.' Building a steady follow-up with singles and live shows, he made his debut, Cloud Nine, in 2016, topping charts in Europe and the U.S. and going multi-platinum in his nat. Subsequent hits included 'It Ain't Me' with Selena Gomez, 'First Time' with Ellie Goulding and 'Born to Be Yours' with Imagine Dragons. Born Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll in Singapore and raised across several continents, Avicii-inspired producer and DJ began to play piano as a child, discovering electronic music as a teen.
Signed to an international deal with Sony, Kygo released his first proper single, 'Firestone,' in 2014. His debut full-length LP, Cloud Nine, was released in May 2016 and quickly went to number one in Norway. After the 2019 release of 'Think About You' featuring Valerie Broussard, Kygo scored an unlikely international crossover hit with a remix of Whitney Houston's Higher Love, the package also featured works with artists from all over the genre spectrum, including Zara Larsson, Tyga, OneRepublic, Kim Petras, Zac Brown, and many more.More high-profile collaborations followed, leading to the release of his third LP, Golden Hour in 2020.
