“I think my music covers a broader sound than just 'Tropical House'... My goal is to simply be a great producer in my own right without being pigeonholed.”

“It's kind of crazy to see how many people actually listen to my music.”

“I'd love to work with some of the people I've remixed for - Ed Sheeran or Chris Martin or The Weeknd. But it's not just big names like these guys that I want to collaborate with.”

“I really like melodies.”

“If you do the same thing all the time, it's not very challenging.”

“Avicii's melodies were so simple and cool, and they were actually similar to the melodies I played on piano. I thought if I could teach myself how to produce and get those melodies out of my head and into the computer, maybe I could make some cool music, too.”

“It was the fans sharing my music around that started it all for me.”

“SiriusXM has had my back ever since day one when I was making remixes in my dorm room at university, and it means a lot that they're supporting my music as I prepare to release my debut album, 'Cloud Nine.'”

“While I was born in Singapore, I didn't actually grow up here. So I don't remember all that much.”

“Coldplay doesn't have to stay within a certain genre; they just go where they go.”

“The difference between doing a remix and an original track is that when you do a remix, you obviously already have the original track as a starting point. But with the originals you start from scratch.”

“Making music all the time was my dream.”

“I'm so happy people have enjoyed listening to my tracks.”

“I get into a zone where I'm really in my own world when I make music.”

“I didn't think it was cool for me to walk around with a huge Kygo logo on myself.”

“I don't really know too many designers. I like a lot of what Kanye West has done with Yeezy, but I think it's a bit too, how you say, elevated; it's a little bit too special. Like he's trying to make something that's kind of a little bit too cool sometimes.”

“Edinburgh has a similar climate to Bergen - it's very rainy and grey. There were a lot of days I'd sit inside in front of the computer, make music, and dream about summer - instead of the rainy reality outside.”

“My biggest influence growing up was Avicii, who put me onto creating the sorts of melodies that feature throughout my songs today.”

“I like to try to keep my music happy because it can make other people happy. And that's the way I feel when I listen to Avicii's songs. I get happy because his melodies are so happy.”

“To finally be able to actually play the piano with vocalists and actually do, like, a proper concert - that feels really good.”
