Bio

He looked like an angel with his fair hair and sparkling blue eyes. Avicii had a unique musical talent, and he needed to make it – that was the only reason, why he started his career. He didn’t want either fame or money, but they found him. And that actually killed him! In 2018 the internationally popular DJ and participant in the Forbes list “30 Under 30” committed suicide. That was a sad story, which had a very happy beginning.

He was born as Tim Bergling in the family of Klas Bergling and Anki Liden. The boy had three siblings. He spent his childhood years in Stockholm, Sweden. Tim was an awkward boy as a teenager and he hated public attention. Being a classical introvert, he spent the major part of his life at home, and the music was his only passion. His life changed when he got FL Studio (the music production program). He could use this software for hours, discovering all the aspects of electronic sound and making it perfect.

The next stage on his way of the top was the meeting with Arash Pournouri, the Iran-Swedish producer, who (as he confessed in the documentary film “Avicii: True Stories”, fount the DJ through social media and was impressed by his music. They signed the deal, and Avicii started generating one-hit remix after another. He presented the remix on Bob Sinclar’s song “New New New”. The track was so great, that the French famous DJ David Guetta immediately messaged to Avicii after hearing it and offered him a collaboration. In 2012 they released “Sunshine”, which was included in David Guetta’s fifth studio album. Soon the shy boy from Sweden performed live in front of 4-5 million people.

That bright life made him unhappy. Managers forced the talented musician to work more and more, and he felt so depressed because of it. The musician tried to relax with the help of strong alcohol drinks, and things got even worse. He was just 28 when he was found dead in Muscat, Oman. Layer it was reported, he injured himself with a broken wine bottle and passed away because of a massive blood loss.
