Reply to Avicii's growth > From Timberman to Avicii

Avicii posted a thread on a swedish music production community in 2006- but got no answers. Later on he posted another thread with his track "Brain" and got atleast some answers. I downloaded his track "brain" and got to hear one of his very first track. It's amazing to hear this and his tracks now. It's very fun too see evolution, comparing his past tracks to present time. He had very hard time figuring out how compression worked. He actually posted on the community that he worked days to figure out how compression and eq:ing worked.

From what I see from his posts he had very good contacts, people who worked at universal and blogs.

Toughts?
