The young Swedish man emerged in the music industry at the age of 18 doing remixes and producing with "Lazy Lace" being his first break into fame, Now turning 23 now already ranked no.6 Deejay is a milestone in the Deejay world and he has done this all in 4 years he outranks some of his influences in house music such as Swedish House Mafia which is 10th and the group consists of influential house heads Sebastian Ingrosso,Axewell and Steve Angello also other major influence he out ranks is Daft Punk the Hit makers of "One More Time" and "Harder,Better,Faster,Stronger" Daft Punk Being ranked no.28.

Avicii South African Tour:
Starts of in Durban:Wave house 30/03/12;
Johannesburg's:Wild Waters Complex 31/03/12 ending of in Capetown: Thunder City also on the 31st with Avicii ending of with the midnight set. Avicii tickets sold out in hours and have been sent out in batches  at certain time and places still managing to sell out in a day. Goes to show that this young man is definitely worth your money even though he is sold out many are going to the venues where he will be deejaying at hoping they will buy tickets from the people who have extras and maybe not interested in going to the event anymore. And Avicii being on of the biggest deejays to come this year shows South African music industry is getting recognised meaning we might have more international guest like last Year we international deejays and producers Deadmau5 and Gregor Salto which also marked a milestone for the South African Music and Media industry.
