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

I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD; I would never cheat my fans like that.

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

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.

Life's a game made for everyone and love is the prize. So wake me up when it's all over - when I'm wiser and I'm older. All this time I was finding myself and I didn't know I was lost.

I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.

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