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.

Baby It's Cold Outside
Kurt Nilsen Lyrics

I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away
But baby it's cold outside
This evening has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry

My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour

The neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Don't hold out
Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
Ooh darling, it's cold outside
This welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a half a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home
Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do these things to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that hold out
Baby it's cold outside
