And he fuddles in Stockholm 1989 So, so same year as I'm 1989 And he was One of the world's Most Kended DJer and music producers

And he He was known for to be new-scaping so people think that his music

was new and fresh and he was very good on to write melodies and he

he blended also EDM with other genres to example pop and country all know all know to wake me up

so it was a lot that was a lot that blended EDM and country EDM is so electronic dance music and it was very very popular there in the beginning of

2010-talet and it was just when I I began to go out and festa and go on concerts and festivals and so. I come in the show I was on

a festival in Guterborg, which is summer burst and there played Avichi. So I have like, mined from that time and from

his music. And I was also I was in Magaluf 2013 on a really so near grisresa where we just festered and so

and then it was Wake me up It was all the time Wake me up when it's all over So that I have a little so minnen and so

to that music. So, as said, Tim Berling, he was up in Stockholm. He began to make music on the

computer. When he was a tonn-o-olding, he had passion for music. He lived for music. And he

had a, He He had a very very fast genombrot

A genombrot is that you're that, you know, you're being

chend whole can't, you have a general and it went

very very snapt for he, he, he, he,

he tried a, a, a, a, a, a,

a, a, manererer, and, And so, yeah, lucked very with that marketstfer,

promote and and get him to play on on the whole so. So he, he, on the

years, he went from completely un-kend to an global super-sherner.

And his lot levels, yeah, the, that we played here in

in the this yeah it is levels and it's 2011

and it was a world's hit so it was very very strong and

and yeah it has very very very very very

good and people think that it had a new

and fresh sound then then two two years

later so there's wake me up let's we see here

if we can play a of wake me up it is this

this this here all to so clart and and

it has three million million streamings on Spotify and it

was one of the most sold the lotter noonsin and it was the most streamed the lot on Spotify in

several years so yeah he became very very very very smart and but but

but but he had also and he had also because he he was he was a

big kid he was blig that he was he was not bequem with to be social he was not bequem

with to get much upmmmacem He was blig. It means that you're not quite with that people are not that you have many people who are talking with you, who see you, who give you upmorphismet and so.

And he took problem with stress, with stress, with ongust, with alcohol, drover yeah so it's so not not for that he was

but it's a little to know exactly which problems which physical problems he had

but but he he camped much with psychics ohhelsa

so the opposite to healtha so that not you not not you're not

whole-tenkel, psychics oh-helsa, that you're not really bad, psychist, whole-en-kelet. So, same-tid-som- he,

he played on the big arenas, strong concerts, millions of fans, so, so, he kinded

he, same-tidid, endsam. Trots that he was om-given of a mass people, trots that he had

people nearer the time. So he chended se quite ensam and, as said, he he camped

with stress, with ongust, with alcohol problem and drug problem. And he slutade tournera 2016,

also just, five years after his genomebrot, so he had to tournere. And

there is a film that's aim team. And I can absolutely recommender the film. I'm Tim. I'm Tim. I called on it for a year ago, or something, half-year-old-year, a year

ago. And I think it was very, very good and interesting. And you can see how he had sworehets, how he started after meaning.

He started after the meaning with the life, he started with meditation. He raced

out to other lenders and letate after some sort of meaning with life. life, some sort of...

So he, yeah, he started with andliness, with meditation, he spender time in the nature and so on the things. And then then, 2018 in

April, yeah, then we we get to know that he had doth. And I come I remember it. I became actually lessen when I

had been that he had got and there there there are many different

omstendiphips about his death so it's a little kind of he's he was

on a resa in muskatt in oman and there took he himselfmord or he

said that he begick he took his own his own but but but

but what is the that is what is that he's that he was there on a

on a resta with with friends. He worked not like

deprimed or never he he worked he worked quite normal

but he meditered very very very much and people

thought that that it was like it was nonormal much

and then by a he'd him, and he had then taken his own life.

And he had not talked with someone on that. He had not left not medellando. Often when people take

his life, so he's they're a off-shed brief, but he had not done. And,

So it is a little kind of And he umgix there with with Oman's I meanlemmar from Oman's king

that his music lever and inspirer and inspirer and so farande.

So, yeah, it's very sorryly that he that he did so tidit

and that he took his own and tagling for that he had I don't know it must be very very surrealist

to go from I sit there by my data doing music on to my data to that bam he's completely so so

like you on arenor over the whole world and milliontals people listening on your music and you have the extreme

extrema, extreme press on it all the time so, fiffan so yeah sorryly, but yeah it is the story of Tim Berling
