Browse piano sheets by Alan Walker on Zen Virtual Piano. Walker, whose full name is Alan Olav Walker, was born in Northampton, England, on 24 August 1997; his father is British and a baker, and his mother is Norwegian and worked in elderly care. His childhood interests were computer games, graphic design and programming; he played on Nintendo hardware and on home consoles including the PlayStation and the Nintendo GameCube. In middle school he began learning music and production through YouTube tutorials. Games, programming and video tutorials all point to a bedroom-and-screen route into music. His first song, Celebrate, went onto YouTube; he had started making music in July 2012 on a laptop with FL Studio, with help from friends he met online. He often wondered during high school whether music could be a career; once he graduated, his plan was to serve in the Norwegian military or to work at a nearby grocery store. A teenager weighing the military against a grocery job while uploading songs offers a picture of how open the road looked. After releasing Faded in 2015, Walker dropped out of high school. A hoodie and a mask are his usual way of staying inconspicuous, since he values his anonymity, and his sound is mostly described as house, built on emotionally rich, grandiose melodies. He has won three MTV Europe Music Awards, three Electronic Dance Music Awards, two Spellemannprisen and an NRJ Music Awards Norge. A mask worn to stay inconspicuous and a list of awards sit side by side, a mix that suggests the music has been louder than the man, and a person who values staying in the background. On My Way, a song by Walker with the American singer Sabrina Carpenter and the Puerto Rican singer Farruko, came out as a single through MER and Sony Music on 21 March 2019. Walker and Big Fred produced it in Walker's signature future bass style, and its lyrics deal with leaving a bad relationship. A song about leaving a bad relationship delivered in a future bass style holds two moods in one track, which gives the track a mixed feel.
