Avicii, born Tim Bergling in Sweden in 1989, was a world-renowned DJ, record producer, and songwriter. He rose to fame in the early 2010s with hits like “Levels” and “Wake Me Up.” Known for his infectious beats and collaborations with top artists, Avicii won numerous awards including two MTV Europe Music Awards and a Billboard Music Award. However, the constant pressure of touring and producing music took a toll on his mental and physical health, leading to his early retirement from touring in 2016. Tragically, Avicii passed away in 2018 at the age of 28. Despite his short life, he left a lasting impact on the music industry and his legacy continues to inspire fans and fellow artists around the world.
