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".

Si det rett ut
Kurt Nilsen Lyrics

Eg ser at noe på
Skeive ingen stemning her å feire
Har eg brukt noen feil ord Mente
Sikkert ikkje det du tror
Og du setter meg på prøver ka
Vil du eg ska gjøre
Må eg gjetter ka det gjelder
Vi'kkje ta feil redd for det smeller
Si det rett ut så enkelt som du bare kan
Si det rett ut gie

Meg sjangsen til å slukke brann
Si det rett ut før
Det nok en gang blir scener
Si det rett ut forklar meg ka du mener
Eg tror eg gjør mitt aller
Beste skal ha fokus på min neste
Men eg vil heller være ærlig om
Vi e sure eller kjærlig
Eg tenker store linjer kanskje noen mindre ting forsvinner
Vi vet jo godt kor vi vil
Hen korfor går vi samme runden
Om igjen
Bare si det rett ut så enkelt som du bare kan
Si det rett ut gie
Meg sjangsen til å slukke brann
Si det rett ut før
Det nok en gang blir scener
Si det rett ut forklar meg ka du mener
Eg driver ut på tvilens
Hav eg kan'kje lese dine tanker
Hører stemmer klatre opp en oktav dine
Ord de blir mitt anker
Si det rett ut så enkelt som du bare kan
Bare si det rett ut gie meg
Sjangsen til å slukke brann
Bare si det rett ut før det
Nok en gang blir scener
Si det rett ut forklar meg ka du mener
Si det rett ut så enkelt som du bare kan
Si det rett ut gie
Meg sjangsen til å slukke brann
Si det rett ut før
Det nok en gang blir scener
Si det rett ut forklar meg ka du mener
