Alan Walker is the masked face of modern electronic dance music: the often hooded artist is one of Europe's most successful EDM DJs and producers. Online he has built up a loyal following of millions, live he convinces on the biggest stages and festivals. In October 2022, Walker comes to Germany for three exclusive shows in Hamburg, Düsseldorf as well as Frankfurt.
Already as a toddler, Alan Walker, born in England in 1997, moves to Norway with his parents. His first musical steps had little to do with the mega-hits that thousands of people dance to at his concerts today. Living in the idyllic coastal town of Bergen, the then just 15-year-old produced from 2012 as a self-taught bedroom producer first tracks, which he published digitally - initially with manageable success.
When he signed his first record deal in 2014, however, the big breakthrough followed: the song "Fade" became a viral hit, and the reproduction "Faded" with singer Iselin Solheim, which was released a little later, today registers over three billion clicks on YouTube alone. In Germany, the single is awarded a diamond record, in over a dozen other countries it goes platinum.
The first live performances and more hit singles like "Sing Me To Sleep", "Alone" or "The Spectre" follow. In 2018 - Walker is already an EDM superstar in Europe at this point - he releases his first album "Different World". He collaborates with pop high-flyers like Noah Cyrus, Zara Larsson and Ava Max; in 2020, he releases a remix of the latter's "Inception" song "Time" with none other than film composer legend Hans Zimmer.
Alan Walker is not only an exceptional musical phenomenon in his native Norway, where he has already been awarded the Grammy equivalent Spellemannprisen twice, and is one of the most successful YouTubers: his atmospheric, light-hearted productions create a buzz at the world's biggest events - from Lollapalooza to Tomorrowland to Coachella. Also notable is his close connection to the gaming scene, which he celebrates in YouTube videos, with his aesthetic, as well as his longtime collaboration with the Battle Royals hit "PUBG Mobile," which spawned the song "Live Fast" with ASAP Rocky, among others.
At the end of 2021 Alan Walker's second album "World Of Walker" was released, with which he comes live to Germany in October. At the concerts in Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt he will then present his most popular tracks as well as the brand new single "The Drum".
