I have always been mainstream. It's so weird, because I don't see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.

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

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

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

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.

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

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