He was originally a plumber before he entered the first Norwegian Idol contest in 2003, where he won against all odds. He went on to be a huge success in Norway, with the hit "She's so High". His voice has often been compared to that of Bono from U2.
The year after, he competed in the World Idol contest; after performing U2's "Beautiful Day" the Australian judge, Ian Dickson, told him: "You're one hell of a marketing challenge because you've got the voice of an angel but you look like a Hobbit." In spite of this, Kurt went on to win the competition, beating the bookies' favourite, American Idol Kelly Clarkson.
He has recorded several albums, the latest one Rise To The Occasion - with the single "Lost Highway" together with country legend Willie Nelson. _The_ Willie Nelson. Kurt has also played with Willie on his tour here in Norway.
Kurt Nilsen married Kristin Halvorsen in the summer of 2006. He has two kids from a previous relationship. His wife, Kristin, is one of the backupsingers in Kurt Nilsens hit "Push Push".
In the sparetime he enjoys trips to his lodge in the Norwegian mountains, and he is a huge fan of fishing.

Auld Lang Syne
Kurt Nilsen Lyrics
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp
And surely I'll have mine
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We two have run about the hills
And pulled the daisies fine
But we wandered many weary miles
Since auld lang syne
Since auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And here's my hand my trusty friend
And give me your hand too
Oh, we'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
And we'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And surely I'll have mine
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We two have run about the hills
And pulled the daisies fine
But we wandered many weary miles
Since auld lang syne
Since auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And here's my hand my trusty friend
And give me your hand too
Oh, we'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
And we'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

this makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up... beyond amazing! Best version ive ever heard, by far!
Kathryn Molesa
Just a guitar and a voice. Now that is music.
anita bell
I can't hear this enough .. simply beautiful !!
Julia Mathiasen
He has such a beautiful voice!
Fahrenheit
Beautiful. Was impressed that he sang the original melody which Burns intended for the song. Nearly every version of this song that I hear uses the far less beautiful melody which has become popular today. One of the best versions I've heard!
Julia Mathiasen
I keep turning back to this song over and over again. I can't describe how much, I love your voice!!!!
Jessica Manuszewski
I love his voice so much!!! He touches right down to the center of my soul when he sings. I don't care what ANYONE says, Kurt is adorable!!!
Leiatronder
His voice is just stunning, one of a kind.. He brings something new in every song he sings. And he is amazing live too, he should be shared with the world..
Dalinda Quingatuña
Me enamora su voz..simplemente perfecto
André Mahrenholz
He has the nicest voice I've ever heard.
