Tim Bergling was born on 8 September 1989 in Stockholm,
Sweden. He began remixing and producing tracks in his own bedroom at the age of
18. His friends convinced him to put his work on various music blogs online,
which led to him gaining a huge following and led to support from legendary DJ
and Producer Tiƫsto, who invited him to perform a weekly residency at Privilege
Ibiza. Also, he gained support from Pete Tong who released his first single
"Manman" through his Bedroom Bedlam label. In May 2008, Avicii signed
to At Night Management. On 30 January 2013, Avicii released "Three Million
ft. Negin" to mark the 3 millionth fan on his Facebook page. Avicii
previously released "Two Million", again when he reached 2 million
fans on his Facebook page. Since achieving widespread commercial success,
Avicii began working with his manager and executive producer Ash Pournouri to
start House for Hunger in 2011, a charity dedicated to alleviating global
hunger. The pair wanted to showcase the giving spirit fostered by the house
music community. Avicii explained, "You have to give something back. I am
so fortunate to be in the position where I can actually do that. I feel lucky
every day when I wake up and am able to do what I love and make a living."
In addition to donating $1 million to Feeding America, a charity founded by
Lauren Bush, House for Hunger has helped fund the efforts of The Feed
Foundation, allowing it to distribute over two million school meals throughout
rural Africa. People say Dj’s are all bad news well Avicii has his own charity
to stop world hunger…TOP THAT.
