“The Norwegian countryside is my inspiration. I am very proud of Norway and its fantastic nature. All through my childhood we used to go hiking in the mountains every Sunday, whatever the weather.” Sweedish singer: AVICII
Avicii is bringing his contagious sounds to the masses and making them believe what many already know – Avicii truly is the Sound of Now.
In January 2013, Avicii launched the Avicii X You project, a partnership with Ericsson, designed to create the world’s first “crowdsourced” hit song. The project enabled fans to send in basslines, effects, melodies, rhythms and vocals to Avicii as sound files over the Internet. Avicii acted as executive producer and created the finished song officially titled “X you” and released in February 2013.
