Alan Walker is a British-Norwegian DJ, record producer, and songwriter. He was born in Northampton, England, and moved to Bergen, Norway, with his family at the age of two. Walker became interested in computers, programming, and graphic design at an early age. He began making music on his laptop in 2012, inspired by EDM producers such as David Whittle and Hans Zimmer, and learned music production by watching tutorials on YouTube.
Walker’s breakthrough came in 2015 with the release of the single “Faded.” The track featured vocals by Norwegian singer Iselin Solheim and quickly became a global hit, topping charts in more than ten countries, including Germany and Sweden. “Faded” received multi-platinum certifications worldwide and has accumulated billions of streams and YouTube views. It was followed by several successful singles, including “Sing Me to Sleep,” “Alone,” and “Tired.” “Sing Me to Sleep” and “Alone” both achieved international chart success and platinum certifications.
In December 2018, Alan Walker released his debut studio album, Different World. The album included “Faded,” “Sing Me to Sleep,” “Alone,” “All Falls Down” featuring Noah Cyrus and Digital Farm Animals, and “Darkside.” Different World charted in multiple countries and was certified gold and platinum in several markets. Walker continued to release popular singles, including “Diamond Heart” featuring Sophia Somajo, “On My Way” with Sabrina Carpenter and Farruko, “Play” with K-391, Tungevaag, and Mangoo, and “Live Fast” with A$AP Rocky.
Walker has released numerous non-album singles and collaborations. Some of his most recognized singles include “Spectre,” “Force,” and “Routine.” He has collaborated with a range of artists, including Ava Max (“Alone, Pt. II”), Steve Aoki, Sia, Au/Ra, and Conor Maynard. He is known for blending melodic EDM, progressive house, and pop, and his songs often feature strong vocal performances from guest artists.

He has also been nominated for several Billboard Music Awards, International Dance Music Awards, and NRJ Music Awards.
Walker has performed at major festivals and events worldwide, including Tomorrowland, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Ultra Music Festival. He is recognized for his signature hoodie and mask stage outfit, which has become a hallmark of his public appearances.
