Norwegian DJ Alan Walker is ready to get the people buzzing when he swings by Vancouver to rock the Harbour Convention Centre this November 24th and 25th!
Walker started getting into music when he reached out to DJ Ness in 2012 and asked him how he produced his music. It was then when Walker started to piece together sounds on FL Studio and watch YouTube tutorials online to learn more tips and tricks to producing. His initial interests were computer programming until he picked up the hobby randomly not too long after. Once he was starting to get feedback from people online, he took that opportunity and ran with it to pursue a music and producer career. It then all began to escalate when he signed a record deal in a couple years later in 2014 with NoCopyrightSounds. He had released his song “Fade” in August of 2014 and when signed his record deal they re-released a couple months later in November and it sky rocketed getting over 400 million views on YouTube, 115 million streams on Spotify, and 41 million streams on SoundCloud.
Wasn’t too long after that Walker signed with MER Music under Sony Music Sweden and they then released his single “Faded” which is the remastered, vocalized version of “Fade”. The single when on to gain platinum status and as of April 2022 it is the 21st most viewed video and 14th most viewed music video on YouTube with over 3.3 billion streams, the first EDM track to hit that milestone. It has 1.5 billion streams on Spotify, making it the 48th most streamed song on that platform.
Alan Walker isn’t just living off his past though because he has released some new heat. “Lovesick” with Sophie Simmons is a very upbeat and has a funky jive that puts a smile on your face. With calm yet powerful vocals from Simmons, the song dips and has a few bridges that bring subtle suspense to the song. A clean record overall and lives up to the name that is Alan Walker.
