His rise to international fame was marked by his remix of Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire" and the track "Firestone," which created a substantial online following and secured his status as an emerging talent within the music industry.

Kygo is known for his melodic beats and a knack for producing music that feels both summery and introspective, a style that has earned him a global fan base. His debut studio album, "Cloud Nine," released in 2016, catapulted him to new heights with singles like "Stole the Show" and the aforementioned "Firestone." He solidified his impact on the music industry with successive hits and collaborations with renowned artists. Notably, his unique blend of tropical sounds with pop and dance elements allows him to create music that resonates across different audiences, as evidenced in his more recent releases such as the acoustic version of "Woke Up in Love" and his collaboration with the iconic voices of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson on "Say Say Say."
