Tim Bergling (8 September 1989 – 20 April 2018), known professionally as Avicii, was a Swedish DJ, remixer, and record producer. His musical style is primarily house music, and he is an influence on many artists. Several music publications have credited Avicii as one of the DJs who took electronic music to Top 40 radio in the early 2010s. He is also considered one of the most popular and successful electronic dance music (EDM) genre artists of all time.
Avicii began posting remixes on electronic music forums at the age of 16, and in May 2007, the label Dejfitts Plays signed him. He rose to prominence in 2011 with his single "Levels". His debut studio album, True (2013), blends electronic music with elements of other genres; it received generally positive reviews, peaked in the top 10 in more than 15 countries and topped international charts. The lead single, "Wake Me Up", became a most-streamed song on Spotify. Both his album Stories (2015) and the extended play (EP) Avīci (01) (2017) reached number one on the Swedish Sverigetopplistan chart.
