About Avicii

Avicii, born Tim Bergling in Stockholm, was a producer who helped take electronic dance music into the global pop mainstream. By fusing house beats with folk, country, and singer-songwriter elements, he created crossover hits like Wake Me Up and Hey Brother. He became one of the most successful DJs in the world while still in his early twenties. After stepping back from touring to protect his health, he died in 2018, a loss that prompted wide reflection on the pressures of the industry.
