Alan Olav Walker, a Norwegian music producer and DJ who was born in Britain on August 24, 1997, is best known for the highly acclaimed track “Faded” (2015), which has received platinum certification in 14 different nations. Along with writing songs, he has also produced a number of YouTube hits, including “Sing Me to Sleep,” “Alone,” “Darkside,” and “On My Way.”
Walker’s channel became the most subscribed YouTube channel in Norway at the beginning of 2017, with 42.9 million followers as of January 2023. As of 21 January 2023, he had roughly 12.1 billion views, the most of any Norwegian creator. When Walker first started performing, his stage name was “DJ Walkzz” or “Walkzz.” After signing with a record label, he ultimately chose to use his own name, Alan Walker, as his artist name. In 2013, he created his logo, which is a symbol made out of the initials of his name, “A” and “W,” entwined. When he plays on stage, he dons a hoodie and a mask. I think it’s pretty cool. A little twist that makes people wonder who really is the person behind Alan Walker. When asked why he wears a mask, he responded: “It is to keep a low profile while maintaining the mental image they have given me.” On an episode of his Unmasked series, he said: “The mask is more of a sign and a symbol of unity and being alike each other, rather than me being.
