Artist Profiles > Avicii
Real name Tim Bergling, aka Avicii, from Sweden, launched his music career through the medium of music blogs, taking influence from fellow Swedish DJs and producers Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell, as well as Daft Punk and Tiesto. His first song, released under the name of Tim Berg, was 'Seek Bromance', which became one of the songs of the summer back in 2010.
Since then, he has gone on to earn residency in Privilege, Ibiza, releasing hit singles throughout the summers of 2011 and 2012, mixing it with the best throughout worldwide festivals. Avicii's career went to even greater heights when he took on the genre of country-house, a strange sound that saw him release his first album 'True' in 2013. He continues to release top 20 hits and still maintains that fresh DJ flavour about his work.
