NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) — SiriusXM today announced the launch of Avicii Radio, an exclusive channel dedicated to the late Swedish DJ, producer and songwriter Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii.

“This is a huge continuation of our relationship with Geronimo, SiriusXM’s Vice President of Dance Music, who was an early supporter of Tim’s music career,” said Klas Bergling, Executive Director of the Tim Bergling Foundation. “Thank you for your interest in promoting the emotional well-being of youth and the Tim Bergling Foundation and its mission.”
“I can’t think of a better way to honor Avicii’s life and legacy,” said Aloe Blacc. “This SiriusXM radio channel, dedicated to the music he created, performed and inspired, is a lasting testament to his enormous impact.”
