My real name is Garrett Nash, so G is just the g and nash.
A friend of mine told me a bunch of stuff on Buddhism and about Avicii being the lowest level of Buddhist hell, and it just sort of got stuck in my head. Later on when I went to setup a MySpace, I tried a bunch of names and they were all taken so I just kind of ended up with Avicii and then I got really attached to it.
When I started out, I was Avici with one i. But on MySpace, that name was taken.
I used to have a pseudonym for Twitter, and I'm trying to get my check to verify me.
As a teenager, I used to use the nickname 'Moo' as a moniker online, and then I turned into 'Moot' for fun, which I didn't even realize was a real word at the time, and it just stuck with me.
The name Rico Nasty came from Instagram.
That's capital L, small a - no space! - capital C, small h, a, n, z, e.
