Bergling was ranked third on DJ Mag in 2012 and 2013[5][6] and has been nominated twice for a Grammy Award, once for his work on "Sunshine" with David Guetta in 2012[7] and once for his song "Levels" in 2013. Some of his most famous songs are "I Could Be the One" with Nicky Romero, "Wake Me Up", "You Make Me", "X You", "Hey Brother", "Addicted to You", "The Days", "The Nights", "Levels" and "Waiting for Love". He released his debut studio album, True, in 2013. It received generally positive reviews from music critics, peaked within the top ten in more than fifteen countries and topped the Australian, Swedish, Danish and US charts.[8][9][10][11] In 2015, Bergling released his second studio album, Stories. On 10th August 2017, Avicii released an EP titled "AVĪCI (01)". It includes notable features by Rita Ora and AlunaGeorge in addition to a remix of Sandro Cavazza's record "So Much Better" who also featured on the song "Without You".[12]

Early life

Tim Bergling was born on 8 September 1989 in Stockholm, Sweden, to Klas Bergling and actress Anki Lidén.[13] In May 2007, Avicii signed on with the Dejfitts Plays label.[13] Then, in 2010, Bergling released the hit song "Seek Bromance", which reached the top 20 in several countries including Belgium,[14] France,[15] the Netherlands,[16] United Kingdom,[17] and Sweden.[18] He also remixed Nadia Ali's classic single "Rapture" for her album Queen of Clubs Trilogy: Onyx Edition. In October 2010, Bergling signed with the European A&R team with EMI Music Publishing.[19]

Career

Origin of the name "Avicii"

Bergling explained that the name Avicii means "the lowest level of Buddhist hell” (Avīci) and he chose the moniker because his real name was already used upon creating his MySpace page.[20][21]

2011–12: "Levels" and international breakthrough

Avicii wordmark, 2008–[22]

In 2011, Bergling released "Levels", which launched him into the mainstream. The song was produced by Tim Bergling and contains a vocal sample from the 1962 gospel-inspired "Something's Got a Hold on Me" by Etta James.[23] The same vocal sample was used first by Pretty Lights in his 2006 song "Finally Moving".[24] This sample was also used by Drum and Bass producer Logistics on "Call Me Back"[25] and by Flo Rida in his single "Good Feeling", which was produced by DJ Prak and Cirkut.[26] "Levels" reached the top ten in Austria,[27] Belgium,[28] Bosnia, Croatia, Denmark,[29] Finland,[30] Germany,[31] Greece, Ireland,[32] Italy,[33] the Netherlands,[34] Slovenia and the United Kingdom,[35] whilst topping the charts in Hungary,[36] Norway[37] and Sweden.[38]

In 2012, his collaboration track "Sunshine" with David Guetta was nominated for a Grammy award under the category for Best Dance Recording.[7] His track "Fade into Darkness" was sampled by Leona Lewis on her single "Collide". The sampling was not accredited and led to controversy as Bergling attempted to block the single's release. However, the matter was resolved outside of court with representatives stating "that Leona Lewis and Avicii will work together on the forthcoming single of Collide".[39]

On 23 March 2012, Bergling's unsigned single "Last Dance" was previewed on Pete Tong's show on BBC Radio 1.[40] The song was later released on 27 August 2012. At Ultra Music Festival 2012 in Miami, he premiered two tracks, "Girl Gone Wild" (Avicii's UMF Remix) with Madonna[41] and "Superlove" with Lenny Kravitz.[42] Avicii's UMF Remix of "Girl Gone Wild" was released on 20 April 2012, and "Superlove" with Kravitz was released on 29 May 2012. After reaching two million followers on Facebook, Bergling released a new song titled "Two Million". It was put out as a free download on his official Soundcloud page. On 27 April 2012, Bergling released "Silhouettes". The song featured vocals from Salem Al Fakir and peaked at number 5 on the UK Dance charts[43] and number 4 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs.[44]

Bergling was a featured performer on 4 August 2012 at Lollapalooza festival in Chicago's Grant Park. On 12 August 2012, he released "Dancing in My Head" (Avicii's 'Been Cursed' Mix) on Beatport.[45] The track features vocals from Eric Turner. A radio edit of the track, titled "Dancing in My Head" (Tom Hangs Mix) was released on 14 August 2012 on iTunes, and a remix EP was later released on 30 October 2012 featuring remixes from Charlie Bernardo and Michael Woods. On 26 September 2012, Bergling made history by being the first DJ to headline the world-famous Radio City Music Hall in New York City.[46] He performed two sold out shows on 26 and 27 September. He was supported by Matt Goldman and Cazzette at the two shows. At his Radio City Music Hall shows, he played a preview of his new track with Mike Posner titled "Stay with You".

On 29 December 2012, Bergling premiered many new songs at Lights All Night, Dallas Convention Center, some of which made it into his first album, True. These unreleased songs included "I'll Be Gone" and "Let It Go".[47] The instrumental of "Let It Go" was mixed with the a capella of "Addicted to You" to become "Addicted to You (Avicii by Avicii)".

On 29 December 2012, Bergling released "I Could Be the One" with Nicky Romero.[48] After first being debuted at his shows almost a year earlier, the track finally got released via Bergling's record label LE7ELS. The new vocal version was released along with an instrumental version, a radio edit, and remixes from Audrio and Didrick. On 9 January 2013, Bergling launched the Avicii X You project, a partnership with Ericsson[49] designed to create the world's first "crowdsourced" hit song. The project enabled fans to send in basslines, effects, melodies, rhythms and vocals to Bergling as sound files over the Internet.[50] The song features sequences from Kian Sang (melody), Naxsy (bassline), Martin Kupilas (beat), ВАНЯ ХАКСИ (break), Jonathan Madray, Mateusz Kolata, and Christian Westphalen (effects). Bergling acted as executive producer and created the finished song officially titled X You, which was released on 26 February 2013. On 30 January 2013, Bergling released "Three Million" featuring Negin to celebrate three million fans on his Facebook page.[51]

Bergling was nominated for a Grammy for Best Dance Recording with "Levels" at the 2013 Grammy Awards.[52] He was nominated alongside Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo, Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia and John Martin, and Al Walser. The award show took place on 10 February 2013. From late February to early March 2013, Bergling toured Australia as one of the headline acts in the Future Music Festival alongside The Prodigy and The Stone Roses.[53] In late February 2013, Bergling made his first South American tour, with concerts in Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Chile.[54]

The representative also announced that Avicii had signed on to Universal Music Sweden and is expected to release his third studio album in 2017.[121]

Influences

Daft Punk (left) and Swedish House Mafia (right) have both been influences on Avicii.

Bergling's influences include Daft Punk, former trio Swedish House Mafia (Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, Axwell) and Eric Prydz.[122]

Bergling has described his earliest entree to electronic music as "listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was."[123]

Avicii is named in the song "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" by American singer and songwriter Mike Posner. Posner recounts the event when he went to an Avicii show in Ibiza and got a mystery pill from someone.[124] with the starting lyrics "I took a pill in Ibiza / To show Avicii I was cool". The song was made in the week they wrote a song together in Sweden called “Stay With You”.

Philanthropy

Since achieving widespread commercial success, Bergling began working with his manager and executive producer Ash Pournouri to start House for Hunger[125] in 2011, a charity dedicated to alleviating global hunger. The pair wanted to showcase the giving spirit fostered by the house music community. Bergling explained, "You have to give something back. I am so fortunate to be in the position where I can actually do that. I feel lucky every day when I wake up and am able to do what I love and make a living." In addition to donating $1 million to Feeding America, a charity founded by John van Hengel, House for Hunger has helped fund the efforts of The Feed Foundation, started by Laura Bush,[126] allowing it to distribute over two million school meals throughout Africa.[127]
