On September 8th, Avicii’s birthday, The Art of Going All In is back.
The series celebrates people who committed completely to what they made—not for likes, awards or applause, but because the work mattered and doing it halfway was never an option.
This episode’s about Avicii: the music he created, the risks he took, the way he pushed electronic music into unexpected places, and how he continues to live through the songs.
If his music means something to you, message me on Teams and tell me:
- Your favourite Avicii song
- A memory connected to his music
- A place, person or period of your life that one of his songs takes you back to
- What you think made his work connect so deeply
Deadline: By the end of September 7 (US Eastern Time)
The episode will also use Copilot to break down Levels and explore how something so carefully constructed could feel so immediate, simple, enormous and timeless.
This is a positive celebration of someone who went all in. For the music, for the craft and for the people who still hear themselves in it.
