Tim Bergling (Avicii) Wiki Biography

Tim Bergling was born on 8 September 1989, in Stockholm, Sweden, and as Avicii, he was known as one of the most successful and popular contemporary DJs. What is more, Avicii was also a record producer, who  created many hits, and in collaboration with several artists. What surprises the most was that Avicii died when only 28 years old, yet his reputation was already world-wide.  He was known for such songs as “Wake Me Up”, “Hey Brother”, “I Could Be the One”, and “X You” among others. Avicii was in the music industry for only about eight years, but had already has been nominated for and has won several awards, including American Music, Grammy, Echo and MTV Europe Music Awards, among others. He passed away in 2018.

So how rich was Avicii? It is estimated by authoritative sources that Avicii’s net worth was over $85 million, a really high sum of money for such a young person. The main source of this sum of money was his activities in the entertainment industry as a musician and producer. Avicii was a perfect example to all the young people in the world, that you can achieve your goals if you work hard and to follow your dreams.

Avicii was born to actress Anki Lidén and Klas Bergling. He  became really interested in music during his teens, and signed a contract with the record label called Dejfitts in 2007, and released his first work, entitled “Lazy Lace”. Later he released such songs as “Seek Bromance” and “Alcoholic”, which achieved success not only in Sweden but in the UK, France, Belgium and other countries as well.

Avicii did not have to wait long before other record labels became interested in him, and started suggesting collaborations. In 2010 he made a deal with the EMI Music Publishing, and in 2011 Avicii released the song that made him even more popular and recognized in the music industry called “Levels”, and it soon reached the top in several European countries; this had a huge impact on the growth of Avicii’s net worth. In 2012 Avicci collaborated with another famous DJ, David Guetta, which meant a lot to Avicci and had a huge influence on his career, and after the release of their song “Sunshine”, other artists also showed an interest in collaborating with this young and talented DJ, who rapidly became a phenomenon in the music industry. Subsequently he worked with such musicians as Nicky Romero, Mike Posner, Lenny Kravitz and others.

In 2013 Avicii released his first studio album, entitled “True”, which added a lot to his net worth – one of the famous songs in this album was “Wake Me Up”, which soon became one of the most popular hits of the year. Radio stations all over the world played this song constantly, and there is probably no person who does not know this song by now. In 2015 Avicii produced his “Stories” studio album, along with such musicians as Jon Bon Jovi, Chris Martin, Wyclef Jean and others, then in 2017 released the EP “Avicii”, which proved to be his last.

In his personal life, despite attaining ‘heart throb’ status among female fans, Avicii is only known to have had one substantial romantic relationship, with Canadian model Raquel Bettencourt during 2013 and ’14. He remained officially single.  Despite his success, Avicci remained very generous, and was involved in charitable activities – he and Ash Pournourti founded the organization called House for Hunger, which helps to counteract global hunger. He also contributed millions of dollars to Feeding America. However, having been known to abuse alcohol for several years, and actually retiring temporarily in 2016, he was found dead on 20 April 2018, in his hotel room in Muscat, Oman;  his death was regarded as not suspicious.

Tim Bergling (Avicii) Quotes

  • I’ve tried plenty of telephones. I tried to get into the Samsung Galaxy and the Blackberry, but the iPhone is just too easy to use. The camera takes clear pictures and the phone itself looks great. Like all Apple products, it kind of just makes sense.
  • I grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and ’60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that’s where I got my first taste for music.
  • I always used to travel without a passport case, and because of it I think I’m four passports in. I bought this small Tumi case to protect my new one, and it works really well, not just for protecting it but also for keeping credit cards and small stuff. I just throw it in my bag when I’m traveling, as opposed to stuffed in my pocket.
  • I’m good at melody – I’ll write the top-line melody and ideal words I want to go with it. But I’m not that good at writing lyrics. I bounce those back and forth with songwriters or someone who can sing.
  • I’ve always been a producer – that’s how I see myself first. The DJing came second as a way for me to be able to perform.
  • I’ve always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome.
  • I travel with a bunch of battery packs because I don’t always have time to charge my phone at the hotel room when I’m traveling. I always change them, so I never run out of battery.
  • I have a hard time writing music when I’m on tour.
  • I love finding out-of-the-box inspirations and blending them with what I’ve done in the past. And when I started to experiment with genres, it didn’t sound forced. Maybe that’s because it’s all music that I listened to growing up, and it’s all music that I love.
  • There’s always so much music around me now, it seems like everything has to be something with music, so in my spare time I try not to listen to anything. It’s so hard for me to listen to something without trying to see a benefit in it: ‘Maybe I’ll make my own version of that track or maybe I’ll do this or that.’
  • Obviously there is stuff that I wouldn’t play in a club that I play at festivals, and vice-versa, but my sets are still dominated largely by my own music. I think that’s what makes me stand out a bit. My music is also festival- and club-friendly, so it generally works out well.
  • I always just sit down at the piano and make the main hook – what I want the track to be about melodically – and then I’ll build everything else around that. But growing up, I did not play any instruments.
  • Lyrics are important, but it’s hard, because English isn’t my first language – although it feels like it is these days! I grew up with amazing melodies, so getting that right on a song has always been the key thing for me, but there’s no reason why a great melody doesn’t deserve great lyrics.
  • I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD; I would never cheat my fans like that.
  • I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.
  • When I started out, I was Avici with one i. But on MySpace, that name was taken.
  • I love DJing, I do. I love everything that comes with it; it’s fun and it’s kind of glamorous.
  • I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
  • House music originated in America, and it has always been around, but I guess it just got a tighter hold on Europe and other parts of the world.
  • A lot of work and thinking goes into my DJing. I want the entire night to progress seamlessly and when I have to adapt the energy on the fly for the crowd on any given night, I can do so with harmonic mixes that I’ve practiced over and over again. I am far from the only DJ that does this and it’s something I take pride in being able to do.
  • Dance music is like a virus: it has affected so many different genres.
  • When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.
  • My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I’ve grown up listening to all kinds of music.
  • A friend of mine told me a bunch of stuff on Buddhism and about Avicii being the lowest level of Buddhist hell, and it just sort of got stuck in my head. Later on when I went to setup a MySpace, I tried a bunch of names and they were all taken so I just kind of ended up with Avicii and then I got really attached to it.
  • I’ve always worn a lot of Ralph Lauren, and plaid shirts in general have been a signature piece for me. With plaid, you can look super-relaxed or you can look a bit dressed up.
  • I guess I think like deep inside, I know that it’s like, it’s a different kind of performing, it’s not really… You’re not performing like a guitar player or a singer is performing, you know what I mean? So it’s weird to be in the same type setup as one of those. ‘Cause I’m not really doing much, you know, like technically it’s not that hard.
  • I have my guy Semi who is my on the road – he’s my personal trainer. He helps me out with training and stuff like that, and he’s shown me a lot of things I can do on the road. We were trying to figure out something that I can do everywhere, like in my hotel room, so I don’t have to have a gym.
  • I don’t really look at the charts at all. If anything, I try to out-do what I’ve done before. I try to make music that I like and I trust my own judgement with what will work with a wider audience. If you compare yourself to the charts, you lose perspective on what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
  • It’s hard – some people get inspired by a feeling, but I’m mostly inspired by melodies.
  • There’s always haters, no matter what you’re doing – whether they’re complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it’s too different.
  • People in Sweden are very conscious of what people are saying about you.
  • I’m a DJ. I get the party started.
  • If I wanted to make a quick buck, there’s far easier ways of doing it. What I want is to provoke people. If you want a hit song, all you need to do is rewrite an old song. It might have been proven to work, but you won’t be remembered the same way.
  • For me there are two types of country: There’s the shoot-yourself-in-the-head country, and then there’s really good country music.
  • I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.
  • Originality is definitely missing from EDM. There are people looking for it and exploring but I feel it’s so big now it is just getting milked. House music is losing all its melody as it becomes more about how dirty the drop is and how energetic it is. It loses touch with what music really is.
  • When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven’t even seen that part of it that much.
  • I have always been mainstream. It’s so weird, because I don’t see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.
