About Kygo

Kygo grew up in Bergen on the west coast of Norway and studied at the Norwegian School of Economics before electronic music took over as a full-time career. The early SoundCloud uploads — flips of Coldplay, Marvin Gaye and Ed Sheeran tracks — built a following measured in tens of millions of plays before he had released a single original song through traditional channels, and that streaming-first trajectory has shaped almost every commercial decision since. The first original to break through was Firestone, the 2014 collaboration with Australian singer Conrad Sewell, followed quickly by Stole the Show with Parson James in 2015. Both records hit the upper reaches of European singles charts, both reached over a billion combined streams on Spotify, and both established the production signature that defined the genre: a half-time house pulse, a hook played on marimba or pan-flute synth patches, a vocal that landed somewhere between pop and indie, and a drop that resolved rather than detonated. The Cloud Nine debut album arrived in 2016 and turned the SoundCloud audience into a touring business. Kids in Love followed in 2017 with the singles It Ain't Me featuring Selena Gomez and Stargazing featuring Justin Jesso, both of which crossed over to pop radio in the United States and pushed the live show into arena rooms. Golden Hour, released in 2020, leaned harder into the pop-feature template — the Whitney Houston Higher Love re-work with the original vocal stems, the Tina Turner What's Love Got to Do With It re-work, collaborations with Sasha Sloan, Zara Larsson and Donna Summer's estate — and broke commercial dance-music conventions by landing on adult-contemporary radio in the United States while also moving units in conventional pop and EDM formats. The Thrill of the Chase, released in 2022, was the most explicitly dance-music record of the catalogue, with more uptempo BPM ranges, more club edits, and a tighter feature roster. Around the records, Palm Tree Records — the label Kygo co-founded with manager Myles Shear in 2019 — has grown into a meaningful imprint in its own right, releasing material from Forester, Frank Walker, Sam Feldt and a roster of producers who occupy the same melodic-dance lane. The Palm Tree Music Festival series, which the label launched in the Hamptons in 2019 and has since expanded to Aspen, Dana Point and other resort markets, gives Kygo a recurring festival vehicle that he controls end-to-end and that he tends to headline personally each cycle. He has also moved into adjacent ventures: a Palm Tree-branded crew clothing line, an investment in club and dayclub operations on multiple continents, and a low-profile but consistent presence in the streetwear and lifestyle circuit that overlaps with his audience. The Rio 2016 Olympics closing ceremony performance — where he played a stripped-back set with the Olympic flame as backdrop — remains one of the most-cited moments in the catalogue and helped lock in the broader-than-EDM positioning that has defined the public profile since. Across the decade he has been nominated for and won multiple Norwegian Spellemann Awards, the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammys, and his albums have certified gold or platinum across more than a dozen national markets. The catalogue is large, the touring is steady, and the live presence is built around an audience that splits roughly evenly between pure dance-music fans and pop-radio listeners who came in through one of the vocal singles.
