CONFIRMED TO PERFORM AT COACHELLA AND ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL THIS SPRING
WORLDWIDE TOUR CONTINUES
“Dance music's next superstar” – Billboard Magazine
Every so often an artist enters the arena and simply changes the game. In 2014, Norwegian DJ/producer -- signed to Sony Music worldwide and Ultra in the U.S –started to gain recognition with his undeniably infectious remixes. Putting the KYGO touch on original tracks from contemporary artists such as Rihanna, Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goudling (to name a few), as well as sprucing up old time classics such as the legendary Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” and Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”, the 23-year-old producer soon created a name for himself. In just a matter of weeks, his Soundcloud page went viral, quickly gaining an impressive half-a-million followers, and all without the support from a label or P.R.
KYGO’s refreshing signature sound and production has clearly resonated with music fans worldwide as he continues to exceed all expectations. Since co-signing to record label giants Sony Music and Ultra Records, KYGO entered the studio to start working on original material and a debut album. The first single to come from him is the lush, tropical-dance anthem “Firestone” featuring Conrad. Just one month after its release, the single has generated an impressive 22.5 million streams on Spotify (clocking in over 1 millions plays n New Year’s Eve) alone. The track debuted at #9 in the Global Spotify Charts, currently sits comfortably at #6 (between Calvin Harris and Ariana Grande) and continues to top the Spotify Charts worldwide since its release back in December 2014.
Tipped as a favorite to rule 2015 by MTV IGGY, Billboard Magazine also predict he’s “on the verge of becoming dance music's next superstar,” KYGO’s future looks bright. Now with a Coachella slot confirmed for April and a SOLD-OUT Worldwide tour (including North America) under his belt, KYGO could well be the artist to break big in America in 2015.
