Musician

The opportunity to be a part of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio is a huge milestone in my career, and it will be the biggest performance of my life.

I don't want to make just tropical house. I want to make everything, just like, whatever I feel like making.

I'm so happy people have enjoyed listening to my tracks.

I didn't think it was cool for me to walk around with a huge Kygo logo on myself.

I've really enjoyed working together with Apple to help launch their new streaming service. It is really cool to see Apple getting involved.

To finally be able to actually play the piano with vocalists and actually do, like, a proper concert - that feels really good.

I hate being put in a box labelled 'tropical house.'

I don't like to classify my own tracks as a genre.

I'm always looking to develop my sound and I'm in the studio whenever I have the time to do this. Always looking ahead!

People don't really listen to albums anymore. They just find good songs.

I've got a great team around me with my family, manager and label, and we've all worked hard together to make things happen.

When I get up there, maybe I'm nervous for the first song, but then I get into it. It's a lot of fun to stand up there. I always enjoy the moment when I'm actually standing on stage. When I'm done, I'm like, 'Oh, I want to play one more song.'

When I make a song, I'm really happy. It's an indescribable feeling.

Making music all the time was my dream.

I'm just trying to experiment with a lot of different stuff and see what comes out of it.

I feel like music can affect you in so many ways. When you hear a song with a happy melody, it can change your mood; it can change your day.

I like to try to keep my music happy because it can make other people happy. And that's the way I feel when I listen to Avicii's songs. I get happy because his melodies are so happy.

I just want to keep challenging myself and keep, like, trying new things.

A lot of producers don't have any musical education. I couldn't make the music I make without playing the piano.

Elton John and Billy Joel, I find them both to be huge inspirations, those guys are so talented.
