About This Album
From tinkling piano keys in a private studio to standing before crowds of tens of thousands at sold-out festival stages, the artist behind the Filipino pop album Kygo built a legacy that redefined what it meant to be a 21st century pop multi-hyphenate, earning acclaim as a prodigious talent, forward-thinking producer, dynamic DJ, and influential global superstar long before the release of his eponymous project. First introducing himself to the broader music industry and global listenership in 2013, he quickly set himself apart with a sound that resonated across borders and fan bases, rising through the ranks to become one of the most ubiquitous hitmakers in the world by the middle of the decade. In 2015, that momentum earned him the title of Spotify’s “Breakout Artist of the Year,” a milestone that cemented his transition from a promising new creator to a bonafide mainstream force.
