When I was in ABBA Museum there is an advertisement about Avicii Experience with code ABBA to get 30% discount, my Asian Genes sparks with joy!
It starts with Tim Bergling’s childhood’s room where it’s written he’s coming from an affluent neighborhoods in Stockholm. Yes, emphasis on the word affluent here, combine with talent = success guaranteed! And that’s exactly what he had.
The success he achieved in a quiet short of time, his name was as big as it can get in his genre. He was only a teenager when he got discovered, through his gift in EDM music he jump straight to famous, the one thing he maybe wasn’t prepare for.
This Experience also have a little bit of interactive part where we got to wear a VR to see the recording studios or when we could hear the songs which hasn’t come out yet.
Although we all know how it ends, I can’t even begin to imagine the pressure in the industry until someone who’s from affluent family decided to end his life. He could easily check out from all of this and still have a good life. After all, perhaps mental health is really something we need to pay attention for.
Thank you Avicii for inherited us your music, from not knowing anything about you to know you as an unbelievable music creator through this Experience your fans has built for you. It is such a shame for a very bright young man to leave the world way too soon.. Now we all have to going out without you.
