Personal life
In an interview in June 2018, Cavazza described his background as "very Swedish and part Italian", consisting of Sunday dinners with his Italian family partnered with a very secure social system in Sweden. This allowed him the opportunity to attend music school. On 23 November 2021, Cavazza announced his intention to "end his career" as an artist, claiming the reasons to be that "some things like social media, competition and being at the center of attention do not make me happy". He intended to solely focus on his career as a songwriter and held one final concert in Stockholm in 2022, but despite this, appeared on Felix Jaehn's song "All for Love" in May 2023. In June 2024, Norwegian DJ Kygo released his fifth album titled “Kygo” and he was featured on a song called “Fade Away”.
