19-year-old Norwegian producer Alan Walker is an international sensation, with three tremendously successful singles under his belt. At just the beginning of his career, he is one of the most streamed artists in the world, with his YouTube channel alone having over 1.7 billion views. His first single “Faded” has become a global viral hit with over 624 million streams on Spotify, over 1 billion views on YouTube and it is the 9th most liked video on YouTube ever. It was #1 in many countries all over the world, is certified Gold or Platinum in 29 counties, was #1 on Shazam for 7 weeks and was the #10 most played song on Spotify worldwide in 2016. His second single “Sing Me To Sleep” has over 124 million streams on Spotify, nearly 232 million views on YouTube and reached the #1 spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artist charge and held the position for 8 weeks. His third single “Alone” received over 233 million views on YouTube in 2 months, has over 122 million streams on Spotify in the same time span, is #1 on iTunes in 20 countries and is currently #21 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Electronic chart. “Faded” was the most played song on US Dance Radio last year, while “Alone” is currently #5 at Dance Radio in the United States.

Last summer, Alan toured all across Europe and performed at various festivals including Tomorrowland in Belgium and Creamfields in the UK and supported Rihanna during her European leg of her ANTI World Tour. In October, his remix of Sia's hit “Move Your Body” was included on the Deluxe version of her album This Is Acting. He has received press coverage from Billboard, Complex, Fader, Mashable and more. Alan Walker recently completed his first European headlining tour, where all shows were sold out and he is currently on his first-ever North-American tour, with sold out shows in LA, NY, D.C. and more.

Growing up in the digital era, Alan found an early interest in computers that later turned into a fascination for programming and graphic design. In 2012 he started making music on his laptop with the help and feedback from his online friends. His music gained great popularity among gamers who used Alan’s tracks in their own YouTube videos (UGC). The songs spread all over the world and later caught the attention of the record labels.
