Avicii Raises $1 Million to Feed Hungry Americans on 'House for Hunger' Tour

In the middle of a trendy restaurant in midtown Manhattan, Avicii (aka Tim Bergling) is standing by two large round tables with his manager Arash Pournouri. In just a couple hours, hundreds of house fans at Lavo nightclub across the street will be jumping and screaming for the renowned Swedish DJ/producer.

But for now, the young man wearing a beanie and a gray hoodie goes surprisingly unrecognized in the cavernous main dining hall of Tao. It's all for the better, as Bergling and the venue's PR teams have gathered some friends and journalists for a hosted dinner for another reason: Bergling and Pournouri (who goes by Ash), are in New York for a stop on their House for Hunger Tour -- a string of gigs that will result in a $1 million donation to Feeding America.
