Alan Walker

Alan Olav Walker was born 24 August 1997. He was originally known by his stage name DJ Walkzz. Walker is a Norwegian record producer and DJ. He is best known for his 2015 single "Faded", which received platinum certifications in over 10 different countries. He is ranked 17th on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs list of 2017, placing 38 positions higher from previous year. The recognizable logo consists of intertwined letters "A" and "W", the initials of his name, was designed by Walker himself in 2013. He also uses a hoodie and face mask resembling the concept of black bloc on stage to create the rest of the image. In the first promo pictures his management handed out, Walker's face was barely visible at all. Also in the music video for his single "Alone", he is all dressed as a black shadow figure. This is, according to the artist himself, a carefully planned image drawn up together with the record company Sony.
