Musical artist

Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll (Norwegian pronunciation: [çʏrːə ˈɡøːrʋelː dɑːl]; born 11 September 1991), known professionally as Kygo (Norwegian: [ˈkỳːɡuː]), is a Norwegian DJ and record producer. He first received international attention with his December 2013 remix of the track "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran[6][7] and his December 2014 single "Firestone" (featuring Conrad Sewell).[8][9] In late 2015, he reached one billion streams on Spotify faster than any other artist, and by June 2016, he had reached two billion streams.[10]

He also experienced commercial success with the singles "Stole the Show" (2015), "Here for You" (2015), "Stay" (2015), "It Ain't Me" featuring Selena Gomez (2017), remix of "Higher Love" (2019), a remix of "What's Love Got To Do With It" (2020), and 2 singles from his self-titled album, Kygo (2024), “Whatever" and “For Life”. His debut album, Cloud Nine, was released on 13 May 2016.[11][12]

Kygo became the first house music producer to perform at an Olympics closing ceremony in August 2016 at the 2016 Rio Olympics.[13] In March 2018, Billboard ranked Kygo third on its 2018 ranking of dance musicians titled Billboard Dance 100.[14] The same year, he was ranked 32 on DJ Mag's top 100 DJs of the world, and in October 2019, he was ranked 42.

Kygo's stage name is a portmanteau derived from the first two letters of his first and last names (replacing ø with o).[15] His stage name Kygo can be pronounced as Norwegian pronunciation: [kyːɡu] for Norwegian speakers and /ˈkaɪɡoʊ/ for English speakers. Kyrre got the idea for his stage name through a username he received in high school for the learning management system platform itslearning.[16]

## Early life

[edit]

Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll was born on 11 September 1991 in Singapore to Norwegian parents and raised in Bergen, Norway.[17][18] He is the son of Kjersti Gjerde, a dentist in Norway, and Lars Gørvell-Dahll, who was working abroad in the maritime industry.[19][20] He has an older stepbrother Mads, two older sisters Johanne and Jenny, and a younger half-brother Sondre.[17][20] During his childhood, he lived and travelled with his family in Brazil, Japan, Kenya and Egypt.[17]

Kygo started taking piano lessons at the age of six and considers himself more of a pianist than a disc jockey.[21] He stopped when he was 15 or 16 and started producing music with Logic Studio and a MIDI keyboard while watching several tutorials on YouTube.[22] When he decided to pursue music full-time, he was halfway through a degree in business and finance at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland.[21] He has cited Swedish DJ Avicii as his main inspiration.[23]
