  • Kygo, whose birth name is Kyrre Gørvell-Dahl, debuted on the 2017 Forbes Under 30 Europe list at age 25. The soft spoken Norwegian is harnessing his world-wide fanbase, tropical techno sound, and high-powered fans turned friends to grow his music juggernaut (his albums have 5 billion total streams, according to data tracker Luminate, with some 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone) into a global consumer brand-Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville for the Gen Z crowd. In 2020, with long-time manager Myles Shear, he launched Palm Tree Crew, a beach-themed brand that will launch destination festivals, clothing and restaurants. And they've taken a page from another Buffett-Warren-and raised $65 million from investors for a venture capital arm which invests in crypto and consumer product start-ups (Poppi soda and Darting Foods, a plant-based meat company) they think pair well with the Palm Tree Crew community.

    Kygo has been a massive inspiration for me. After Avicii passed I really became a full time Kygo fan because I saw the same work ethic and quality of music. Super proud of Kygo and his team

    Every artist in the past who regretted their contract: "I leave the business and split stuff to my manager"... "It's all about the music"

      That is true; however, Kygo's manager and him are literally best friends (both were very young when they got together) so it's a much different scenario than the vast majority of artists

      it's his manager who turned him from a guy remixing songs in his bedroom to a world famous dj so he can really leave the business to his manager

    I’ve been with him l, adoring his music and personality since the beginning and have loved him since day 1! I’m so very proud of Kyrre and everything he’s done. He deserves all the success he has. I hope he knows he saved this life, and probably many, many more with his positive music. I love you, Kygo!!

    This is amazing.
    I loved this interview because I got to know the personal side of Kyrre. Beyond being a success and a role model in the music industry, Kygo is an admirable person who has managed to forge his career in an honest and fantastic way. His perseverance, effort, discipline and humility and of course his talent have managed to consolidate a master in electronics and one of the best at Tropical House🤴. It is excellent to listen to this story of a great human being who gives his followers many joys with each success he releases. @KygoMusic ...we will always be supporting you💛. By the way, this look and outfit that you wore is splendid and magnificent👌. I'm lovin 'it.
