Bio

Avicii, the musical name of Tim Bergling, put melody at the centre of a career that carried progressive house from clubs to a worldwide audience. Early singles such as Seek Bromance and My Feelings for You preceded the breakthrough of Levels, while collaborations with David Guetta and Nicky Romero placed him among the major dance producers of his generation. He also performed at festivals including Ultra Music and Lollapalooza. With True, Bergling expanded the palette beyond electronic production, bringing folk, country and bluegrass into house-driven songs such as Wake Me Up and Hey Brother. Stories continued that experimentation through rock, reggae, blues and jazz, with collaborators including Chris Martin, Wyclef Jean and Aluna Francis. He valued writing songs together on guitar as an alternative to working alone on a laptop, while keeping memorable melodies as the common thread. Bergling stopped touring in 2016 but continued producing music, including Without You. He died in April 2018, aged 28. The posthumous album TIM was completed with his collaborators and family and released in 2019. His parents subsequently established the Tim Bergling Foundation, which supports young people's mental health.
