Swedish DJ, remixer and record producer known as Avicii. I helped push electronic dance music into the mainstream — blending house with folk, bluegrass and country on songs like 'Levels', 'Wake Me Up' and 'Hey Brother' — before stepping away from touring in 2016. (1989–2018)
Avicii Forever, a greatest-hits collection uniting landmark songs like 'Wake Me Up', 'Levels' and 'Hey Brother' with the new track 'Let's Ride Away', was released to introduce his music to a new generation.
Avicii – I'm Tim, an intimate documentary told largely in his own words, premiered at the Tribeca Festival before reaching a global audience on Netflix.
The Avicii Experience, an interactive museum tracing his life and music — including a reconstruction of his childhood bedroom — opened in central Stockholm.
Måns Mosesson's authorised biography, Tim, was published — a candid account of Tim Bergling's life, work and struggles.
On what would have been his 32nd birthday, Google marked the day with a Doodle during National Suicide Prevention Week.
Stockholm's Ericsson Globe arena was renamed the Avicii Arena in his honour, tied to the foundation's youth mental-health work.
An Avicii Tribute Concert at Stockholm's Friends Arena brought together David Guetta, Kygo, Nicky Romero, Laidback Luke, Rita Ora and others, with profits going to the Tim Bergling Foundation.
Tim, the album he had been working on, was completed by his collaborators and released posthumously — debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Dance Albums chart.
Tim's family launched the Tim Bergling Foundation, dedicated to mental-health awareness and suicide prevention among young people.
Tim Bergling died on 20 April 2018 in Muscat, Oman, at the age of 28. Tributes poured in from across the music world, and fans gathered in Stockholm and beyond to mourn one of dance music's defining voices.
I came back with the EP Avīci (01) — including 'Without You' with Sandro Cavazza and 'Lonely Together' with Rita Ora — my first release since leaving the road.
I played my last live show at Ushuaïa in Ibiza — the final performance before I stepped away from touring for good.
In March 2016 I posted that I would stop touring later that year, citing my health — after years on the road, I wanted to step back and focus on making music in the studio.
In early 2016 I took a small group of collaborators on a songwriting road trip across the US — the 'Crowning of Prince Liam', named after my dog Liam — writing wherever inspiration struck, from the California coast to Monument Valley, before premiering songs like 'Without You' at Ultra.
My second album Stories came out and went to No. 1 on the dance charts in Sweden, Norway and the US, with singles like 'Waiting for Love' pushing my songwriting in new directions.
I put out 'The Nights', which first debuted through EA's FIFA 15 — an anthemic, life-affirming song that went on to become one of my most-loved tracks.
I co-wrote and co-produced 'A Sky Full of Stars' with Coldplay, playing the piano parts myself.
'Wake Me Up' became the first song ever to pass 200 million streams on Spotify.
I won my first major award — Best Electronic at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
I released 'Hey Brother', leaning further into country and bluegrass with Dan Tyminski on vocals.
My debut album True arrived, fusing electronic dance music with folk and bluegrass — a blend that surprised people and then topped charts around the world.
I released 'Wake Me Up' with Aloe Blacc — a bluegrass-tinged dance record that became the UK's fastest-selling single of 2013 and the biggest song of my career.
At Ultra Music Festival in Miami I brought a live bluegrass band on stage to premiere 'Wake Me Up' — the crowd was baffled by the genre-blend at first, then it became the sound of the summer.
I teamed up with Ericsson on 'Avicii X You', billed as the world's first crowdsourced hit — fans submitted sounds that I built into the track 'X You'.
I was a featured performer at Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park — one of the big festival stages I played as 'Levels' took off.
I released 'Levels' in October 2011 — the song that launched me into the mainstream, topping the charts in Sweden, Norway and Hungary.
As 'Seek Bromance' broke into the top 20 in several countries, I signed with EMI Music Publishing's European A&R team in October 2010.
In May 2007 I signed with the label Dejfitts Plays and started putting out my earliest tracks under the name Avicii.
I was born Tim Bergling on 8 September 1989 in Stockholm, Sweden, the son of actress Anki Lidén and businessman Klas Bergling.
Born Tim Bergling in Stockholm in 1989, I started mixing in my bedroom as a kid and taught myself to produce on FL Studio. As Avicii I fused progressive house with folk, bluegrass and country, scored hits that topped charts around the world, and became one of the most in-demand DJs of my generation — before retiring from touring in 2016 to focus on making music in the studio.
