The Swedish deejay-producer Avicii has died; he was 28.

“He was found dead in Muscat, Oman this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th,” a rep told PEOPLE in a statement of the EDM artist, born Tim Bergling. “The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given.”

Born in Stockholm, Avicii began releasing electronic dance music in 2008. He rose to international fame in 2011, thanks to his Grammy-nominated David Guetta collaboration “Sunshine.” The same year, he released his ubiquitous club hit “Levels” — which was later nominated for a Grammy — and “Collide,” a single with Leona Lewis.

The following year, Avicii and Nicky Romero dropped their smash collaboration “I Could Be the One.” In 2013, he released his biggest hit, the euphoric single “Wake Me Up,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. And over the years, Avicii worked with everyone from Lenny Kravitz and Madonna to Rita Ora, with whom he recorded “Lonely Together” last year.

Below, a look back at the late hitmaker’s most memorable songs.

“Wake Me Up” (2013)

R&B singer Aloe Blacc lent his rich vocals to this track, which was co-produced by Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda.

“Hey Brother” (2013)

Avicii tapped American bluegrass singer Dan Tyminski to sing on this single, his second-highest-charting hit, which notched No. 16 on the Hot 100.

“I Could Be the One” (2012)

Avicii teamed up with singer Noonie Bao — a fellow Swede — and Dutch producer Nicky Romero on this mainstream crossover.
