ALAN WALKER IS not a big talker. In fact, fans of this global sensation will be surprised to know that getting on stage to actually perform his songs to an audience, let alone sold-out arenas, was never part of the plan in the early days of making music in the bedroom of his parent's home in Bergen, Norway. Of course, all of this changed after Faded in 2015 the song which got Alan signed to a label, made him a recognised name and as of this year, is the 21st most viewed video on YouTube, making it the first EDM track to hit that milestone.
A decade later, the 25-year-old record producer and DJ has performed at some of the most happening festivals, from Coachella to Tomorrowland. He has also collaborated with the likes of Bruno Mars and Miley Cyrus, as well as the legendary Hans Zimmer. The latter is also his personal music hero.
Meet the man behind the music
We read that your creativity piques at night...

What do you like to do to unwind?
I play Call of Duty.
Does your dog Happy travel with you?
No, sadly not. He comes with me to the cabin in Norway, but he doesn't tour with me. But I miss him and my cats every day!
