Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll (born 11 September 1991), better known by his stage name Kygo (Norwegian: [ˈkỳːɡuː]), is a Singaporean-born Norwegian DJ, songwriter, and record producer. He garnered international attention with his December 2013 remix of the track "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran[10] and his December 2014 single "Firestone".[11][12] In late 2015, he became the fastest artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify, and by June 2016, he had reached 2 billion streams on Spotify.[13]
Kygo has since released several singles, such as "Stole the Show", "Here for You" and "Stay" in 2015, "It Ain't Me" in 2017 and a 2019 remix of "Higher Love" performed by Whitney Houston, all of which have debuted on several international charts. His debut album, Cloud Nine, was released on 13 May 2016.[14]
Kygo became the first house music producer to perform at an Olympics closing ceremony on 21 August 2016 at the 2016 Rio Olympics.[15] In March 2018, Billboard ranked Kygo 3rd on its 2018 ranking of dance musicians titled Billboard Dance 100.[16] In 2018, 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 derived from the first 2 letters of his first and last names, and he got the idea for the name after a school computer system automatically generated the word "Kygo" as his login username.
Early life
Kygo was born on 11 September 1991 in Singapore and raised in Tønsberg;[1][2] he is the son of Kjersti Gjerde, an actress in Norway, and Lars Gørvell-Dahll, who was working abroad in the maritime industry.[17][18] He has an older stepbrother Mads, two older sisters Johanne and Jenny, and a younger half-brother Sondre.[1][18] Throughout his childhood, he lived and traveled with his family in Brazil, Japan, Kenya, and Egypt.[1]
Kygo started taking piano lessons at the age of six, and considers himself more of a pianist than a disc jockey.[19] 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.[20] 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.[19] He has cited Swedish DJ Avicii as his main inspiration.[21]

Personal life
Kygo was in a relationship with Maren Platou. Kygo is currently single.[53] He is a fan of Manchester United, with his favourite player being Juan Mata.[54]
Stage name
His stage name Kygo can be pronounced as (Norwegian pronunciation: [kyːɡuː])[55] for Norwegian speakers, and /ˈkaɪɡoʊ/[55] for English speakers. Both pronunciations can be used interchangeably. Kyrre got the idea for his stage name through a username he received in high school for the digital learning platform itslearning.[56] The service used parts of his name to create a nickname, thereof "Ky-" standing for the first two letters in his given name "Kyrre", and "-go" for the first two letters in his last name "Gørvell-Dahll". The letter ø is usually replaced with letter o in computing. In an interview with newspaper Fanaposten, Kyrre quoted; "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]".[56]
Philanthropy
In June 2016, NRK said that Kygo is "giving 50 000 USD [...] of the profits [of his sold-out festival on 20 August]" to Frank Mugisha; 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".[57]
