Kygo

“I've been so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with some incredibly talented vocalists, guitarists and producers, and I can't wait to share more originals in the future.”

“I get inspired by a lot of different stuff. My father is a huge music fan.”

“What I really enjoy and what I do in the studio is play keyboard.”

“I consider myself more of a producer and a musician than a DJ.”

“I love finding talents to pair my music with such as Conrad on 'Firestone', Parson James with 'Stole the Show,' and Will Heard on 'Nothing Left.'”

“'Coming Over' was probably the fastest collaboration I've ever done.”

“I just wanted to make melodies. I started trying to do my own thing and let the melodies make the genre themselves.”

“There's just a completely different vibe at festivals. Everyone gets to hang out and enjoy their favorite music all day. I really do try and play as many festivals as possible!”

“When I'm on the road and it's super stressful, it definitely affects my music. When I'm hanging out with my friends and my girlfriend and things are good in my life, then it's better.”

“I'm just trying to experiment with a lot of different stuff and see what comes out of it.”

“I just want to keep challenging myself and keep, like, trying new things.”

“I've really enjoyed working together with Apple to help launch their new streaming service. It is really cool to see Apple getting involved.”

“I like bringing keyboards and stuff on stage.”

“A lot of producers don't have any musical education. I couldn't make the music I make without playing the piano.”

“It's kind of hard when you're on the road all the time, from one show to the next, from one hotel room to the next hotel room, it's kind of hard to think about everything.”

“I started taking piano lessons from the age of six years old. It's such an essential part of what I do in the production process. I wouldn't be Kygo today without those piano lessons.”

“I really like streaming services. It's a great way for people to find your music.”

“All my collaborations happen in different ways. Sometimes it's through a chance meeting at a festival or event, while others can happen just off the back of me liking their music and reaching out.”

“Sometimes I can sit at my computer and find a cool sound, or a new synth patch, and get super-inspired by that and make a track based on that sound. But the piano is where I find the inspiration and come up with the melody.”

“I feel like music can affect you in so many ways. When you hear a song with a happy melody, it can change your mood; it can change your day.”
