I feel like when I get the demos - I get a lot of demos - but when I get the right demo, I get very inspired. I produce around it, and it often goes very fast.
A lot of producers don't have any musical education. I couldn't make the music I make without playing the piano.
When I travel too much, it affects the music, and that is the most important thing. As long as I make good music, I can play shows, but if the music starts getting bad, the show offers won't come.
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 get into a zone where I'm really in my own world when I make music.
I love finding talents to pair my music with such as Conrad on 'Firestone', Parson James with 'Stole the Show,' and Will Heard on 'Nothing Left.'
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.
If I never showed my face, it would kind of be easier.
It's kind of crazy to see how many people actually listen to my music.
Edinburgh is where I started. A lot of the remixes I made were done in my room there, and it was a good place for me to make music.
Lemaitre has been one of my inspirations ever since I started making music.
When I'm on the road and it's super stressful, it definitely affects my music. When I'm hanging out with my friends and my girlfriend and things are good in my life, then it's better.
I've been a sports fan forever.
It's kind of hard when you're on the road all the time, from one show to the next, from one hotel room to the next hotel room, it's kind of hard to think about everything.
I started taking piano lessons from the age of six years old. It's such an essential part of what I do in the production process. I wouldn't be Kygo today without those piano lessons.
I'm just trying to experiment with a lot of different stuff and see what comes out of it.
My biggest influence growing up was Avicii, who put me onto creating the sorts of melodies that feature throughout my songs today.
I am proud to perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.
Making music all the time was my dream.
I do have in the back of my head that you never know how long it lasts.
