The following year, he released the single 'Wake Me Up.' Featuring the vocals of Aloe Blacc, the pastoral soul track peaked at the top of the charts in over 20 countries, making it his biggest hit to date. The song became another hit for the producer and was featured heavily on reality TV shows and European radio. Toward the end of 2012, Bergling issued 'I Could Be the One,' a collaborative single with Nicky Romero. Featuring a sample of Etta James' 'Something's Got a Hold on Me,' the track topped dance charts across the globe and reached platinum status in at least ten countries, launching Avicii into the mainstream. However, it wasn't until his next single, 2011's 'Levels,' that his international popularity exploded. 'Seek Bromance' - which added the vocals of Amanda Wilson atop his earlier track - became a modest hit across Europe. In addition to remixing tracks for Little Boots, Robyn, and Dizzee Rascal, Bergling issued a handful of his own singles, like 'Bromance' and 'My Feelings for You' in 2010. Influenced by Daft Punk and Steve Angello, his melodic house sound gained a huge following, which led to support from both Tiësto, who invited him to perform a weekly residency at Privilege in Ibiza, and Pete Tong, who released first single 'Manman' through his Bedroom Bedlam label. A year after his passing, the posthumous album TIM was issued.īorn Tim Bergling in Stockholm in 1989, he began making music at the age of 18, writing and remixing tracks in his bedroom and uploading them onto the Internet. Months after the release of his sixth EP, Avici (01), the young producer was found dead in Oman from self-inflicted wounds. His debut album, 2013's True, included a trio of chart-topping singles: 'Wake Me Up,' 'You Make Me,' and 'Hey Brother.' He continued to juggle the underground and the mainstream, remaining on the charts and racking up platinum certifications while pushing his sound in fresh directions on EPs and DJ mixes. Emerging in 2008, he made a name for himself on the electronic circuit before breaking into the international mainstream with his breakout hit, 'Levels.' The chart-topper was certified platinum across the globe and he soon became a fixture at both festivals and on the radio.

As one of the most popular DJs of the late-2000s EDM boom, Grammy-nominated Swedish producer Avicii rose to the top of the charts in multiple countries and toured the world with his uplifting house anthems.
