Alan Olav Walker (born 24 August 1997) is a Norwegian DJ and record producer. His songs "Faded", "Sing Me to Sleep", "Alone", "All Falls Down", "Ignite", and "Darkside" have each been multi-platinum-certified and reached number 1 on the VG-lista chart in Norway. Walker values his anonymity and is known to wear a hoodie and mask to remain inconspicuous. His musical style is primarily described as house music, and is characterized by emotionally rich and grandiose melodies. Walker grew up in Fana, Bergen, Norway, and began making music around 2012. Using feedback from fans online, he later gained recognition by posting several songs on YouTube and SoundCloud. Starting out as a bedroom producer, he was better known as DJ Walkzz before signing a record deal and releasing his debut single "Fade" on NoCopyrightSounds (NCS) at the age of 17. In December 2015, his single "Faded" reached number 80 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He followed it up with the singles "Sing Me to Sleep" and "Alone" in 2016, and "All Falls Down" in 2017, the latter of which reached number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. In 2018, Walker released "Darkside" and "Ignite". A few months later, his debut studio album, Different World, topped the Norwegian and Finnish album charts, and charted in the top 20 in Sweden and Switzerland. In 2021, Walker released his second album, World of Walker. The album included the singles "On My Way" and "Alone, Pt. II", both of which reached the top five on the Norwegian VG-lista chart. The following year, he released his third album, Walkerverse Pt. I & II, and supported it with Walkerverse: The Tour, which began in September.
