The song 'Wake me up' has become a regular on The SoJO Morning Show (for obvious reasons).  Now, get to know the artist behind the music with five things you may/may not know:

1.)  First, and foremost, Avicii is not a group.  His name is Tim Bergling.

 

2.)  Avicii was nominated for a Grammy for 'Best Dance Recording' for a song called 'Sunshine'.  The song was a collaboration with David Guetta.  Don't worry, Avicii was nominated for his own grammy this past year.

 

3.) Wake Me Up!" has become the UK's fastest selling single of 2013 after overtaking Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines".

 

4.) He helped start House for Hunger in 2011, a charity dedicated to ending world hunger.  He also donated 1 million dollars to 'Feeding America'.

 

5.)  The closest he'll get to us anytime soon will be on October 10......in New York City.  The Roseland Ballroom to be exact.
