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.
