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.

N%C3%A5 Tennes Tusen Julelys
Kurt Nilsen Lyrics
Nå tennes tusen julelys
Det stråler rundt var jord
Og himlens stjerner blinker ned
Til liten og til stor
Og over by og land i kveld
Går julens glade bud
Om han som fødtes i en stall
Vår Frelser og vår Gud
Du stjerne over Betlehem
Send dine stråler ned
Og minn oss om at julens bud
Er kjærlighet og fred
Er kjærlighet og fred
Til hvert et fattig hjerte send
Et lysstreif ifra sky
Så finner det den rette vei
Og det blir jul på ny
Det stråler rundt var jord
Og himlens stjerner blinker ned
Til liten og til stor
Og over by og land i kveld
Går julens glade bud
Om han som fødtes i en stall
Vår Frelser og vår Gud
Send dine stråler ned
Og minn oss om at julens bud
Er kjærlighet og fred
Er kjærlighet og fred
Til hvert et fattig hjerte send
Et lysstreif ifra sky
Så finner det den rette vei
Og det blir jul på ny

Lyrics by me for Hungarian fans:
Karácsony ezer fénye
Karácsony ezer fénye most
ragyogjon föld színén,
s hadd láthassa meg csillagát
a gyermek és a vén.
Az örömhír zeng szerteszét
városban és falun:
egy istállóban született
Megváltónk és Urunk.
Ó, Betlehemnek csillaga,
küldj nekünk is te fényt
hogy ne feledjük, tőled jön
szeretet és remény.
Sok szegény, beteg, árva szív,
feléd ha félve int,
hadd lelje meg a jó utat,
s karácsony lesz megint.
@dncinflwr
