藝人資料
出道初期
Avicii 原名Tim Bergling，1989年9月8日出生于瑞典的斯德哥爾摩省。2008年，不滿20歲的Avicii開始嘗試為游戲(Commodore 64)制作主題曲，這促使他創(chuàng)作出了自己的第一支單曲《Lazy Lace》，該曲在Strike Recordings發(fā)行后立刻引起轟動，只是牛刀小試的瑞典少年得到了眾多新老DJ的稱贊，他們驚訝這位18歲年輕人的處子作居然如此專業(yè)和迎合時代潮流。
事業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)折
很快，Avicii被英國老牌House天王Pete Tong注意。在前輩的力邀下，Avicii的第二首單曲《Manman》在Pete Tong的節(jié)目(First Trax)當(dāng)中成為主打，超過七成的聽眾支持率讓Bergling一下子成為炙手可熱的明日之星，這首作品順勢被Pete Tong拿來發(fā)行在自己的廠牌Bedroom Bedlam下。Pete Tong的力薦對Avicii來說可謂一個重要的轉(zhuǎn)折，讓他一下子從混沌的臥房制作人集團中脫穎而出，加上從2008年逐漸升溫的瑞典效應(yīng)，給了這位后生迅速成長所需要的一切外部優(yōu)勢。隨著《Manman》的走紅，他得到了更多優(yōu)質(zhì)的合約：澳洲老牌House大廠Vicious Grooves將其視為門下至寶，Armada加盟音樂公司Zouk給了他更多站上主流舞臺的機會，就連老東家Strike Recordings也調(diào)轉(zhuǎn)船頭集結(jié)Avicii早期作品重新發(fā)行。眾多的機會當(dāng)中，Vicious Grooves的歷練賜予他成為House未來巨星的潛質(zhì)，從2008年末開始，包括《Even》《Sound Of Now》《Ryu-Strutnut》《My Feelings For You》等在內(nèi)多首在Beatport上打榜的作品讓他積累起不少人氣，不到兩年的時間，Avicii儼然成為Vicious Grooves最高產(chǎn)藝人。
合作成名
2010年，這位準(zhǔn)90后開始和瑞典知名制作人John Dahlbck合作，不但聯(lián)合發(fā)行了單曲《Don't Hold Back》，而且還共同推出了一張混音專輯《Super You & Me - Vol 01》，他的大熱單曲《Levels》也獲得了世界舞曲連續(xù)17周排行第一共18周的驚人成績。此外，他也獲得了與瑞典三杰之一的Sebastian Ingrosso、荷蘭DJ天王Tiesto親密接觸的機會。也是在這一年，憑借極高的人氣，他首次出現(xiàn)在DJ Mag世界百大DJ排行榜上，第38名的成績讓他成為Top 40當(dāng)中年齡最小的成員。在2011年百大DJ榜單中Avicii名列第6，在2012年百大DJ榜單中Avicii名列第3，在2013年百大DJ榜單中蟬聯(lián)季軍，這也是對Avicii充分的肯定。在2014年百大DJ榜單中他跌至了第六名。
首發(fā)專輯
