I grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and '60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that's where I got my first taste for music.

I travel with a bunch of battery packs because I don't always have time to charge my phone at the hotel room when I'm traveling. I always change them, so I never run out of battery.

When I started out, I was Avici with one i. But on MySpace, that name was taken.

Dance music is like a virus, it has affected so many different genres.

I tried carrying the weight of the world. But I only have two hands.

I love DJing, I do. I love everything that comes with it; it's fun and it's kind of glamorous.

When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven't even seen that part of it that much.
