Тим Берглинг (Tim Bergling) — шведский диджей и музыкальный продюсер, наиболее известный под сценическим именем Авичи (Avicii). Он также использовал псевдонимы Tim Berg и Tom Hangs. Авичи прославился в 2010 году благодаря синглам «My Feelings for You», «Seek Bromance», «Blessed» и «Levels».
В 2016 году закончил свою гастрольную деятельность, но продолжит писать и выпускать новую музыку.
When “Wake Me Up” first premiered at Ultra Music Festival in 2013, the song was initially met with confusion and skepticism. The unconventional use of a live bluegrass band on stage, along with the unexpected blend of genres, was far from what the crowd had expected from an Avicii set.
But as fans began taking in the lyrics, the melodies, and the genre-bending sound, “Wake Me Up” quickly soared to global success, topping charts around the world as the soundtrack of a generation.
Now, almost 13 years since its release, “Wake Me Up” has passed 3 billion streams on Spotify, making it the most-streamed song by a Swedish artist on the platform. This remarkable milestone stands not only as a testament to its timeless significance but also echoes the profound impact Tim left on electronic dance music ◢ ◤
From “For A Better Day” to “Sunset Jesus” and “Ten More Days,” the three-part mini series “Stories on Stories” takes you behind the scenes in the creation of some of the most beloved tracks from Avicii’s second album, Stories.
