Who is Avicii?

The producer who made dance music feel like a singalong — and changed pop forever.

Avicii — born Tim Bergling in Stockholm in 1989 — is one of the most beloved and influential artists in the history of electronic music. With an unmistakable melodic gift, Avicii fused house, pop and folk into anthems that transcended dance music and reached the entire world.

His 2011 breakthrough "Levels" became a cultural phenomenon, and his 2013 debut album True — led by the genre-bending #1 hit "Wake Me Up" — redefined what EDM could be. Tracks like "Hey Brother," "The Nights," "Waiting for Love" and "Without You" remain festival and radio staples.

After stepping away from touring in 2016, Tim tragically passed away in 2018 at the age of 28. His family established the Tim Bergling Foundation to support mental-health awareness, and his music lives on for millions of fans. Explore more electronic music artists in the full DJ directory.

Avicii made strangers in a field feel like they were singing the same song they’d known their whole lives.
