Biography
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. Axwell released limited copies of a techno/hard trance EP on vinyl under the name OXL in 1995. During the mid-90s, he was also active in the tracking music scene under the moniker Quazar, releasing acid techno tracks made with FastTracker 2 and NoiseTracker.
Career
By late 2004, Axwell released "Feel the Vibe", which was re-released through Ministry of Sound in 2005 with new lead vocals from Tara McDonald who also wrote the song as "Feel the Vibe ('Til The Morning Comes)". McDonald's voice and writing helped secure the track as a radio winner and this track became one of the biggest cross over dance records of 2005. It was a breakthrough record for both Axwell & Tara McDonald. It peaked at #1 in UK Dance Singles Chart and #16 in the UK Singles Chart.

Watch The Sunrise
There's nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you
And watch the sunrise
Every time I see the sunset in your eyes
Words can not express the feeling deep inside
Your fire gives me sweet inspiration
When the morning comes
You bring life like a sunrise, sunrise
There's nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you (with you)
And watch the sunrise
There's nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you (to feel you)
And watch the sunrise
Every time I feel the pressure start to rise
Heaven only knows the way you've satisfied
Your fire gives me sweet consolation
And when the morning comes
You bring life like a sunrise, sunrise
Watch the sunrise
There's nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you (with you)
And watch the sunrise
There's nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you (to feel you)
