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

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

House music originated in America, and it has always been around, but I guess it just got a tighter hold on Europe and other parts of the world.

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.

I travel with a bunch of battery packs because I don't always have time to charge my phone at the hotel room when I'm traveling. I always change them, so I never run out of battery.
