I 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.

From Avicii

There's always so much music around me now, it seems like everything has to be something with music, so in my spare time I try not to listen to anything. It's so hard for me to listen to something without trying to see a benefit in it: 'Maybe I'll make my own version of that track or maybe I'll do this or that.'

From Avicii

Obviously there is stuff that I wouldn't play in a club that I play at festivals, and vice-versa, but my sets are still dominated largely by my own music. I think that's what makes me stand out a bit. My music is also festival- and club-friendly, so it generally works out well.

From Avicii

I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD; I would never cheat my fans like that.

From Avicii

A friend of mine told me a bunch of stuff on Buddhism and about Avicii being the lowest level of Buddhist hell, and it just sort of got stuck in my head. Later on when I went to setup a MySpace, I tried a bunch of names and they were all taken so I just kind of ended up with Avicii and then I got really attached to it.

From Avicii

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.
