AVICIII make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.
AVICIILife’s a game made for everyone, and love is the prize.
AVICIIAll this time I was finding myself and I didn’t know I was lost.
AVICIII always just sit down at the piano and make the main hook—what I want the track to be about melodically—and then I’ll build everything else around that. But growing up, I did not play any instruments.
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.
AVICIII tried carrying the weight of the world. But I only have two hands.
AVICIII’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.
AVICIII grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and ’60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that’s where I got my first taste for music.
AVICIII think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
AVICIIIt’s hard – some people get inspired by a feeling, but I’m mostly inspired by melodies.
AVICIII 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.
AVICIII can’t tell where the journey will end But I know where to start.
AVICIIWhen it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.
AVICIII 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.
AVICIITo me, I’m always trying to look for the energy, to imagine in being played on the dance floor. I guess that’s the most important thing in making music for me.
