Alan Walker: The DJ Who Conquered the World with "Faded" and Other Hits

Good afternoon and welcome, how are you? It's time to write another post with very good music. I hope you're ready because today I bring you the best information and everything you didn't know about one of the youngest promises. Today we're going to talk about Alan Walker.

So we begin.

He began his career in 2012 at the early age of 15 but it was not until 2014 when his path in music would begin to rise surprisingly in his beginnings Adam Walker was known as Big Box or Vox but in 2013 he decided to use his real name as his stage name some of the producers and composers from whom he took inspiration were artists such as Cat 391 and Briks as well as Steve Jablonsky and Jan Zima and although you may not believe it the musical genre with which he would become known would be Hansa and jazz and it would not take long for him to decide that the genres that would represent him would be electro house progressive house and techno mixed with the sounds of the keyboard and the synthesizer in such a way that now it is impossible for us not to identify this style that only he possesses.

In 2014, the song that would take him to the top of success would be
discovered on YouTube by the record label Mr. No Cover Ride Sounds, in this one that we are talking about like this, Sider said track it would receive more than 400 million views in a very short time followed by other songs like Espectro and Force in 2015, the year in which he would sign the contract with Sony Music Entertainment.

It would then be that the famous Norwegian DJ would release the vocal and remastered version of The Fighter alongside Sony Music Sweden and with the voice of the Italian singer Song, thus becoming his biggest hit to date as it has already accumulated more than 2 billion views on YouTube, which doesn't seem impressive to you? Later he would have more collaborations with artists of international stature such as Innsbruck and Noah Cyrus, Sabrina Carpintier and even Farruco. One of the most talked about was the track alone in 2016, as well as having the participation of the singer in One and Bao, it also has its acoustic and instrumental version, as well as a part 2 which is performed by the American singer Katy Max. However, one of the most outstanding facts is the mysticism that he has reflected not only in his musical style but also in the way he dresses. If you have ever wondered this, the composer and producer also declared in an interview that he uses a black hood and a mask to cover half of his face in order to keep a low profile, but not Not only that, but in his series of waves he declared that the mask was also a symbol of unity and equality because he doesn't want to pretend that he is different from everyone else, but people really wonder who was in Walker and what person exists behind the artist.
