There's always haters, no matter what you're doing - whether they're complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it's too different.

I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.

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.

My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I've grown up listening to all kinds of music.

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

It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.
