Avicii Music Quotations

When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven't even seen that part of it that much.

I love finding out-of-the-box inspirations and blending them with what I've done in the past. And when I started to experiment with genres, it didn't sound forced. Maybe that's because it's all music that I listened to growing up, and it's all music that I love.

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.

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.

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.

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.'

I have a hard time writing music when I'm on tour.
