Kygo

About

Kygo is the stage name of Norwegian DJ and producer Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll (born 1991, Bergen), who pioneered the tropical house subgenre and became the first artist to reach 1 billion streams in a single year on Spotify. His five studio albums - from Cloud Nine (2016) to the self-titled Kygo (2024) - and collaborations with Selena Gomez, Whitney Houston and Ava Max have made him one of the most-streamed electronic artists in the world. Beyond music, he co-founded the Palm Tree Crew lifestyle brand, which runs festivals and, since late 2024, a hotel in Miami.
