Kenneth Osberg Nilsen,[3] better known by his stage name K-391, is a Norwegian record producer and DJ.[4] He is best known for his 2018 single "Ignite", a collaboration with Alan Walker, which reached number one in Norway.
Career[edit]
Nilsen began his career as an artist in 2009, then in 2013 on British record label NoCopyrightSounds, releasing the song "Dream Of Something Sweet", featuring Cory Friesenhan, on 22 December 2013. His final song on the label was "Earth", released on 30 April 2016.[5]
In 2017, Nilsen and Alan Walker released their collaborative single "Ignite".[6] Although the song was a collaboration, Nilsen was only credited as a feature on the song.[7] The song, which was originally released as an instrumental, was released on 7 April 2017, through Walker's record label Mer Musikk as well as Sony Music.[8] A version of the song, featuring vocals by Norwegian singer-songwriter Julie Bergan and South Korean singer Seungri was later released On 11 May 2018.[9] Although the instrumental was released though Mer Musikk and Sony Music, the vocal interpretation was released under Liquid State, a record label that focuses on electronic dance music.[10][11] The vocal interpretation was praised as being significantly better than the instrumental.[12][13][14] Nilsen went on to further collaborate with Walker, remixing such songs as "Tired" and "All Falls Down".[15]
On 30 November 2018, Nilsen collaborated with Alan Walker and American singer Sofia Carson on the single "Different World", featuring Corsak, through MER Musikk and Sony Music Entertainment.[16] On 14 December 2018, the single appeared on Walker's debut album of the same name, alongside "Lily" with Emelie Hollow.[17][18] Nilsen collaborated with three scandinavian producers Martin Tungevaag, Mangoo and Alan Walker on a remake of "Eurodancer" by Mangoo known as "Play" where Nilsen worked on the drop. The track was released everywhere on 30th August 2019. Eurodancer was initially released by Mangoo in the year 2000 when K-391 was just 6 years old.
