I always just sit down at the piano and make the main hookโwhat I want the track to be about melodicallyโand then Iโll build everything else around that. But growing up, I did not play any instruments.
AviciiObviously there is stuff that I wouldn't play in a club that I play at festivals, and vice-versa, but my sets are still dominated largely by my own music. I think that's what makes me stand out a bit. My music is also festival- and club-friendly, so it generally works out well.
AviciiI would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD; I would never cheat my fans like that.
AviciiI 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.
