Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, otherwise known as Kygo is a 23 year old Norwegian producer and DJ, who got his first taste of fame when he remixed an Ed Sheeran track called “I See Fire”, which received 40 million plays on SoundCloud, and 26.5 million views on YouTube. He’s been tipped by Billboard Magazine as the ‘the next EDM superstar’.
He’s gone from producing music in his bedroom, to worldwide success in record time, he can already boast sold out shows in the US and Europe, and he signed a worldwide recording deal with Sony Music Entertainment last September. His debut album is tipped for release later in the year.
This is his debut single and features vocals from Conrad Sewell, it was originally released at the end of 2014 – it has over 7 million plays on SoundCloud and YouTube and over 40 million plays on Spotify, and it peaked at number 4 in the worldwide Spotify chart.
Even though he’s released another single since this one, it really sounds like a summer song in the making. This is Kygo with “Firestone” and it’s Monday’s Daily Download.
