On August 27, Live Lounge, presented by 17LIVE, hosted the first-ever label showcase for the global superstar, Kygo’s Palm Tree Records, which began a joint venture with Sony Music Entertainment.
Norwegian superstar, Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, a.k.a KYGO, is best known for his multiplatinum hits such as “It Ain’t Me” with Selena Gomez, “Higher Love” with Whitney Houston, “Like It Is” with Zara Larsson & Tyga, and “Lose Somebody” which featured OneRepublic. He has accumulated over 15 billion cumulative global audio and video streams and has rightfully earned his spot as a household name.
