Biography
Gørvell-Dahll started to play the piano at the age of six having various lessons whilst still in school. In his teenage years after discovering electronic music through esteemed artist Avicii, Gørvell-Dahll tried his hand at remixing a number of tacks and released his creations through YouTube and Soundcloud. The Norwegian music producer soon became noted for his seemingly infinite supply of remixes defined by his proclivity for upbeat and positive melodies and sparklingly bright production.
Gørvell-Dahll has released a number of successful remixes including Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire” which has a play-count of over 15.8 million on Soundcloud, 40 million plays on YouTube and stayed in Romania’s Top 40 for 14 weeks. On top of this he released a remix of “Sexual Healing” which received over 250,000 plays within 10 days and the result of which left Gørvell-Dahll with a swollen fan base that were anticipating more releases from the producer. His remix “No Diggity Vs. Thrift Shop” has surpassed the one million mark on YouTube and as of 2014 was asked by Coldplay’s Chris Martin to create a remix of their song “Midnight”
2014 also saw Gørvell-Dahll warm up for Avicii at Findingd Festival in Oslo, Norway and replace the DJ due to health concerns on the MainStage in TomorrowWorld. Gørvell-Dahll has since signed a huge deal with Sony International and Ultra Records and partnered with the brand Electric Family to produce bracelets from which proceeds go to breast cancer awareness.
Live reviews
Norwegian record producer and DJ Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll better known by the stage name of Kygo has been criticised for having only been working the circuit for just over two years and he is only 23 years old. However anybody who has seen this musician's live show will be able to quieten critics as Kygo's age simply works in his favour as he is one of the most enthused and energetic electro performers. There is no doubt that following his breakthrough in 2014, Kyrre has been living the dream and he looks completely elated to be stood behind the decks spinning tracks for the crowds.
There is a large amount of fans and onlookers alike gathered to hear this up and coming musician and he demonstrates real ability mixing his popular remix of Coldplay's 'Midnight' into upcoming material from the highly anticipated debut album. He is of course most excited when playing his European hit singles 'Firestone' and 'Stole The Show' which has the whole audience jumping and dancing as one. When you consider the fact Kygo does not have a full length album as of yet, he achieves one hell of a party with his existing material.
5th time we have seen Kygo at Ushuaia since 2016 (first was the day before Aviici performed his last show in Ibiza). The last one we attended was Sunday 12th August 2018, and was by far and away the best one yet.
Frank Walker, The Him and then Lost Frequencies, all worked to build up the atmosphere for when Kygo took the stage at 10pm. We were not disappointed in the slightest and made all the more better because we were privileged to be in the VIP area (on the second row), so the atmosphere coupled with the music and all the lighting effects, just made for a very memorable night.
Sincerely hope Kygo returns next year to Ushuaia because, for sure, we will be there.
And no, I'm not a youngster. I'm in my 60's and simply can't get enough of Kygo's music.
PS. Get Klingande and Bakermat on the same evening as Kygo, as you did in 2016. Then that would simply be the best.
Absolutely amazing! Me and my boyfriend flew from Fargo, ND to Los Angeles just to see him play at the Greek Theatre. We both enjoy music and going to festivals and concerts but this absolutely took the cake for best concert! We will definitely be seeing Kygo again and it was worth every penny spent. The music, the lights, the crowd, the scenary and even the weather made for an amazing experience we will never forget.
AMAZING! it was my first gig and I went with a friend who goes to about 2-3 concerts a month, he said "thats as good as it gets". See was a nice intro, and then who new that gryfffin could shred. Kygo was amazing, a couple piano/acoustical 100% performances and all kinds of special guests, a good balance between new and old songs, crowd wasn't that hyped though.
I saw him for second time, he is very talented all music is live plus Firestone acoustic version, the production also great a lot of effects was a really good experience he is going on a good way to the top, my opinion, the only think I dislike was the long way to start the show 30 minutes is too much, the rest was great.
The show was awesome. I have not seen such light and sound setup before. We were given wristbands which would light up. there were bouncing balls and fireworks and sky paper :)
The only disappointment I had was with the venue, O2 Brixton is a small venue and it was really crowded with no space to move, let alone dance.
Kygo was amazing! I was really impressed by how skilled a pianist he is. I had a great time dancing all night to his sick beats. He played all of my faves.
His opener, Harry Hudson, however had music that made me feel like I was in a Tarantino movie...in a bad way. His music sounded the way a fart smells.
An amazing performer. Moved from various different forms including launchpads, launchkeys, drum pads, piano orchestra.
Ton of surprise vocalists. Amazing. Played for a very long time as well.
His transition from Alan Walker to Kygo did take quite of bit of time though and was a little awkward.
Was the worst experience I ever had. The XS club oversell the show and most of people who bought the tickets online as myself couldn't get in. Beacouse the place was so full they shot down the entrance. We wait in line for 2 and a half hours and didn't make it to the show.
