Career: Kygo released his first single “Epsilon” on the Romanian record label Ensis Records in May 2013. After making waves on Soundcloud and YouTube, later in 2014 Kygo was asked by Chris Martin of Coldplay to remix their song “Midnight”. Kygo was asked to be the supporting act of Avicii at the Findings Festival in Oslo, Norway through 2014. In September of that year, Kygo, due to health reasons cited by Acivii, replaced Avicii at the mainstage at the TomorrowWorld concert. On December 1, 2014, Kygo released the single “Firestone” (featuring Conrad Sewell). The song garnered him international attention and charted on several charts worldwide.

In December 2015, Kygo became the fastest artist in history to reach one billion streams on Spotify thanks to the single “Stay.” He then released his debut studio album “Cloud Nine” and embarked on a worldwide tour to promote the album. Kygo launched a lifestyle brand called Kygo Life in August 2016. The same month, he performed “Carry Me” at the closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which bolstered his popularity even further. One of Kygo’s biggest hits yet came in February 2017, a collaboration with Selena Gomez titled “it Ain’t Me.” The song is the lead single from Kygo’s first EP “Stargazing.” It was an instant hit, streamed over 1 billion times on Spotify and number one in Croatia, Lebanon, and Norway, and hit amongst the top five peaks in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland.

In July 2020, he released a remix of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” and in September 2020 he released a remix of Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff.” Personal Life: Kygo got the idea for his stage name through a username he received in high school for a digital learning platform. The service used parts of his name to create a nickname, therefore “Ky” and “Go.”  Kygo has stated: “Kygo [as an artist name] has been absolutely perfect. It is very easy to say, in both Norwegian and English. And I have no need to change the artist name in the future.” He was previously in a relationship with Maren Platou but is now single as of this writing. His favorite sports team is Manchester United and his favorite player is Juan Mata. In June 2016, it was reported that Kygo gave $50,000 USD of the profits from his sold-out festival from August of that year to various charities in Uganda and other nations. Kygo was quoted: “Everyone should be permitted to live with one’s sexual orientation. That is not the situation in Uganda and quite a few other countries across the world”.
