# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Tim Bergling started posting remixes on electronic music forums at 16 and signed with Dejfitts Plays in May 2007. He broke through in 2011 with "Levels," then followed with his debut album True in 2013, which blended electronic music with other genres and peaked in the top 10 in over 15 countries. Its lead single "Wake Me Up" became one of Spotify's most-streamed songs. His second album Stories and the EP Avīci (01) both hit number one in Sweden. But chronic health problems shadowed the rise: hospitalised for acute pancreatitis in 2012, he developed an addiction to the opioids prescribed for the pain and underwent surgery to remove his appendix and gallbladder in 2014. He announced his retirement from touring in March 2016. On 20 April 2018, while on vacation in Muscat, Oman, he died by suicide. His third album, Tim, was released posthumously in 2019.
