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

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.

If I wanted to make a quick buck, there's far easier ways of doing it. What I want is to provoke people. If you want a hit song, all you need to do is rewrite an old song. It might have been proven to work, but you won't be remembered the same way.

A lot of work and thinking goes into my DJing. I want the entire night to progress seamlessly and when I have to adapt the energy on the fly for the crowd on any given night, I can do so with harmonic mixes that Ive practiced over and over again. I am far from the only DJ that does this and its something I take pride in being able to do.

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

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