I can’t tell where the journey will end But I know where to start.
AVICIII can’t tell where the journey will end But I know where to start.
AVICIIWhen I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven’t even seen that part of it that much.
AVICIIAll this time I was finding myself and I didn’t know I was lost.
AVICIIPeople in Sweden are very conscious of what people are saying about you.
AVICIIDance music is like a virus, it has affected so many different genres.
AVICIIIf I wanted to make a quick buck, there’s far easier ways of doing it. What I want is to provoke people. If you want a hit song, all you need to do is rewrite an old song. It might have been proven to work, but you won’t be remembered the same way.
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’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.
AVICIIHouse 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.
AVICIIIt’s hard – some people get inspired by a feeling, but I’m mostly inspired by melodies.
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 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 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.
AVICIII’m good at melody – I’ll write the top-line melody and ideal words I want to go with it. But I’m not that good at writing lyrics. I bounce those back and forth with songwriters or someone who can sing.
AVICIII think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
