Avicii

You have heard of ABBA; now hear Avicii, the next best musical act to come out of Sweden! He is one of the youngest and the best record producer, DJ, and electronic musician, today. In recognition of his extraordinary contribution to the world of music, he has already been honored with a Grammy Award nomination. Already a sensation in his native country, he has also taken United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Germany, Denmark, and many other countries, by a storm. This immense popularity has transformed him into a phenomenon, and he is not just known as mere DJ anymore. However, mixing music is something he does best, and therefore he has been ranked at position number 6 on the Top 100 DJs list.

 
Avicii’s real name is Tim Bergling, and he was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1989. That makes him only 22 years of age! There are indeed very few musicians of this age, who have achieved as much as Avicii has. Perhaps one of the reasons why he has been so successful very early in his career is the fact that he was only 18 when he appeared on the horizons of music industry with a big bang. That big bang was essentially his re-mixed version of the theme song of Lazy Jones, a Commodore 64 video game. With the release, he was noticed by local head-hunters and soon after he was signed by Strike Recordings, which released “Lazy Lace”, his debut single. With this one release, the ball had started to roll for Avicii.

 
Soon after, he was working with the very best of the industry like Sebastian Ingrosso, Tiesto, and John Dahlback. With Dahlback, he released “Don’t Hold Back”, which was warmly received in his native country. Round about this time it could be argued that he had made a name for himself in music re-mixing business and was being noticed by bigger and better known recording labels. Perhaps for this reason he signed up with EMI Music Publishing. EMI, in addition to being member of the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) is also the fourth biggest recording label. So signing up with them opened up a whole new world and a bigger market to the young DJ! With his new recording label behind him, he was making even better music, and was started to be heard all over Europe and North America.

 
Now, Avicii tickets had started to sell like hot cakes, and he was (still is) performing before large crowd, all over the world. In collaboration with David Guetta, he released “Sunshine”, which was nominated for a Grammy in the “Best Dance Recording” category. Singers like Flo Rida and Leona Lewis have sampled his works like “Levels”, and “Penguin”. With the release of “Seek Bromance”, he achieved newer heights of fame in his native Sweden and in several other European countries.

 
Avicii describes artists Daft Punk, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke, as biggest influences on his work. These are all first-class, world-renowned artists! Is it any wonder then that this 22 years old prodigy makes such awesome music? In a statement released on his behalf in April, 2011, he was especially thankful to his manager for being such huge influence on him. Furthermore, he specifically mentioned Eric Prydz, and Swedish House Mafia guys, for guiding him in the right direction.

 
Although, Avicii has produced and re-mixed loads of stuff to date, it is however pertinent to mention that singles like “Levels”, “Fade into Darkness”, “My Feelings for You”, and “Seek Bromance”, have done exceedingly well. All of these numbers have either been certified platinum or gold records. And in the case of “Fade into Darkness”, the single achieved double-platinum status.

As the tickets are now available, they may not be for too long, so hurry and reserve the best seats in the house for you and your loved one! Buy your Avicii tickets now!
