Early Life & Education

Avicii, born Tim Bergling on September 8, 1989, in Stockholm, Sweden, hailed from a family of distinction.

He grew up with two brothers, Anton Körberg, an actor, David Bergling, and a sister named Linda Sterner.

Tragically, Avicii left this world on April 20, 2018, at the tender age of 28 as a result of mental health issues. He chose to forego formal education at 16 to fully embrace his passion for music, a path that led him to become a celebrated electronic dance music artist of his era.

Career

Avicii, the star of electronic dance music, etched his name into music history with anthems like Levels, Wake Me Up, and Hey Brother. Yet, beneath the glitz and glamour, he grappled with inner demons, leading to his 2016 retirement from relentless touring. Despite his untimely departure, his artistry garnered accolades, including two MTV Music Awards, a Billboard Music Award, and a Grammy nomination.

His musical journey began under his DJ sibling’s influence, igniting a passion for music at a young age. At 16, he embarked on a self-taught odyssey through music production, fueled by a pirated copy of FL Studio. In 2007, Avicii inked a deal with the Dejfitts Plays label, releasing singles and remixes that captivated fans and industry insiders. His meteoric rise culminated with Levels, propelling him to global stardom.

Avicii‘s music conveyed uplifting messages, encouraging listeners to seize the moment. He channeled his influence into philanthropy, founding the Tim Bergling Foundation for mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

His passion extended beyond music to education. Avicii regretted his academic detour and urged youth to stay in school. In partnership with the Swedish government, he established a music production school in Stockholm to nurture budding talents.

His accolades included an American Music Award, Grammy nomination, MTV Europe Music Award, Billboard Music Award, and Swedish Grammy. Avicii received the International Dance Music Award for Best Charity Fundraiser posthumously for his work with the Tim Bergling Foundation.

Personal Life

Avicii was romantically involved with Emily Goldberg, an American student, from 2011 to 2013. Afterward, he dated Racquel Natasha Bettencourt, a Canadian student and model, until late 2014.
