Early life

Axwell's interest in music appeared at an early age, having taught himself to play the drums by age nine. Four years later, the 13-year-old exchanged his drums for a computer so he could create each element of his music independently. In his teenage years he attended Fäladsgården Elementary School, and is still talked about there to this day. Axwell released limited copies of a techno/hard trance EP on vinyl under the name ''OXL'' in 1995. During his teenage years, he was also active in the tracking music scene under the moniker ''Quazar'', releasing acid techno tracks made with FastTracker 2 and NoiseTracker.
