I've always been a producer - that's how I see myself first. The DJing came second as a way for me to be able to perform.

I'm a DJ. I get the party started.

Life's a game made for everyone, and love is the prize.

To me, I'm always trying to look for the energy, to imagine in being played on the dance floor. I guess that's the most important thing in making music for me.

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

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

I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
