On December 31, 2024, Netflix dropped the documentary ‘Avicii – I’m Tim’, taking us on a joyride through the life of the late Swedish DJ and music producer Tim Bergling, known to the world as Avicii. Ah, Avicii! The only guy who could turn a cozy night in into a full-blown music festival while maintaining the shyness of a cat hiding under the couch.
An Electrifying Journey
Directed by Henrik Burman, the film chronicles Bergling's meteoric rise from a wallflower to an international music icon. Featuring interviews with stellar artists like Chris Martin, Nile Rodgers, and David Guetta, we get some unique insights into Avicii's creative process and the challenges he faced while riding the fame wave. Talk about a paradox: introverted genius meets global stardom!
“Avicii’s music is a bit like a good meal: sometimes spicy, sometimes sweet, but always satisfying!”
