Hailed by
Rolling Stone magazine as “one of the Princes of the contemporary renaissance
of EDM”, Grammy-nominated Avicii - born Tim Bergling - is best known for his
acclaimed live performances and for international mega-hit ‘Levels’. It
conquered club charts worldwide, racked up over 50 million YouTube views, and
was declared David Guetta’s “Tune of 2011” in DJ Mag. Following an intense and
prolific touring schedule as well as the worldwide release of his summer smash
hit ‘Silhouettes’ this year, the Swede soared to No.3 in the 2012 DJ Mag poll
of the Top 100 DJs after just three years of performing.
In 2012 alone,
he’s headlined Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrow land, Electric Daisy Carnival and
Lollapallooza, while his first summer residency at Ushuaïa Beach Hotel in Ibiza
smashed the party island to smithereens.
Avicii is also
one of the genre’s most sought after collaborators. His ‘Superlove’
collaboration with Lenny Kravitz and remix of Madonna’s ‘Girls Gone Wild’ are
among the most acclaimed tracks this year.
To put it
lightly, what Avicii and his manager Ash has managed to
achieve in just a few years is truly astonishing. Commencing his dizzying
journey at the tender age of 18, the self-taught, fresh-faced Swedish luminary
has unquestionably amassed greater success before turning 22 than most could
ever hope to achieve in a lifetime.
The mastermind
behind smash hit phenomena Seek Bromance,
Levels and Fade into Darkness and
chief collaborator for the chart topping My
Feelings for You, he has soared from budding bedroom music-maker to international
electronic sensation in a matter of years, and already stands
shoulder-to-shoulder with just a handful of the most in-demand and elite DJs on
the planet. We can only dare to imagine what will be accomplished in a whole
career…
The
partnership between himself and manager Ash has flourished beyond all
expectations – the unrelenting Avicii continues to masterfully hone his unique
brand of high-octane, melodic house music, while the successes flood in.
Amongst
others, it was his critically acclaimed Muja
EP and smash hit Ryu (which
became Pete Tong’s “Essential New Tune” and Tiesto’s “Track Of The Week”) that led
Avicii to even greater accomplishment, as in 2009 he was crowned “Breakthrough
Producer/DJ of the Year” in DJ Magazine’s ‘Top 100’ special edition, and “The
Swedish Future” in ‘Only for DJs’ Magazine (FR). These were exciting times for
the youngster, and consistently exquisite production outputs flowed thick and
fast, but it was the events of the following Summer that truly took him to the
next level as an artist, as the Swedish superstar sought a little bit of
bromance…
Released under
his alias, and quasi-namesake, ‘Tim Berg’, the triumphant phenomenon that was Seek Bromance saw the plucky Swede
escalated to previously unbeknownst heights and out-right superstardom, as the
track became the international dance
anthem for the summer. Reaching Number 1 Beatport status after just two days,
it climbed to top ten in the official national charts of ten countries across
the globe – an achievement unheard-of for even the biggest of dance music megastars.
Just a month later, his smash hit collaboration with Sebastian Drums My Feelings For You, reached the coveted
Number 1 spot once again, remaining there for an astonishing 5 weeks. By the
end of summer 2010, Tim Berg, Avicii, Tim Bergling – whatever you may choose to
call him – were the words on everybody’s lips and demand soured!
