Mini bio
How it started.
Tim Bergling grew up in Stockholm. He made tracks and remixes in his bedroom and uploaded them online. Winning Pete Tong’s production competition in 2008 helped bring his music to a wider audience.
Finding his sound.
“Levels” brought his breakthrough in 2011. On True in 2013, he mixed dance production with folk and country influences. “Wake Me Up”, sung by Aloe Blacc, became one of the clearest expressions of that sound.
Beyond his own records.
He co-wrote and co-produced Coldplay’s “A Sky Full of Stars”. Stories followed in 2015, widening his palette and bringing collaborators including Chris Martin and Alex Ebert into the music.
The music carries on.
Tim retired from touring in 2016 and died on 20 April 2018. His collaborators helped complete the posthumous album TIM, released in 2019. His estate now shares recordings and archive films that let fans hear more of his work and see how he made it.
