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

I've always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome.

Dance music is like a virus, it has affected so many different genres.

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

I've always worn a lot of Ralph Lauren, and plaid shirts in general have been a signature piece for me. With plaid, you can look super-relaxed or you can look a bit dressed up.

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

There's always so much music around me now, it seems like everything has to be something with music, so in my spare time I try not to listen to anything. It's so hard for me to listen to something without trying to see a benefit in it: "Maybe I'll make my own version of that track or maybe I'll do this or that." When I'm off I just don't want to hear anything.
