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.

When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven't even seen that part of it that much.

There's always haters, no matter what you're doing - whether they're complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it's too different.

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

I'm a DJ. I get the party started.

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