When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven’t even seen that part of it that much. Avicii Read Quote
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.’ Avicii Read Quote
I’ve always been a producer – that’s how I see myself first. The DJing came second as a way for me to be able to perform. Avicii Read Quote

I 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. Avicii Read Quote
Originality is definitely missing from EDM. There are people looking for it and exploring but I feel it’s so big now it is just getting milked. House music is losing all its melody as it becomes more about how dirty the drop is and how energetic it is. It loses touch with what music really is. Avicii Read Quote
For me there are two types of country: There’s the shoot-yourself-in-the-head country, and then there’s really good country music. Avicii Read Quote
I have my guy Semi who is my on the road – he’s my personal trainer. He helps me out with training and stuff like that, and he’s shown me a lot of things I can do on the road. We were trying to figure out something that I can do everywhere, like in my hotel room, so I don’t have to have a gym. Avicii Read Quote
I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD; I would never cheat my fans like that. Avicii Read Quote
