Having emerged so young, Alan is mindful of the fact that he is always evolving, learning and changing his sound. Because I wear the mask when I perform, my face and looks are not necessarily something that people recognise as much.” Teenagers change and grow up quickly. Anyone could be the person behind the mask and we can all achieve amazing things. “The whole visual profile is a way of saying that we are all the same and we are all equal. “It has never been about me wanting to be anonymous or hide my identity,” he says. That might be part of the reason that, initially, Alan tried to remain anonymous and wear a mask in public, but he says he feels he’s managed to not let it affect him that much. But when you’re as famous as he is in Norway, it’s hard to even walk down the street. Away from making music he likes playing video games and hanging with friends, as well as with his dog, Happy. It comes after a few months off at home, with family. On the subject of nationality, Alan says he feels Norwegian, but that he feels a special connection when he plays in the UK, as he will do in London and Manchester on his upcoming European tour. But if I stayed in the UK, I’m sure that would have impacted upon my style of music as well.” There are so many great artists from Norway that are making amazing music, both within the EDM genre and in general. Norwegian music has also had an impact on me.

I try to make sure that the subjects and themes in my songs are something that people can relate to, and that it ts with my overall identity.” He also admits that he takes inspiration from his surroundings and, ”anything at all! A conversation with someone, a movie I’ve watched recently, or sometimes I just start making music and go with whatever mood I’m in at that time. “On other occasions, there is already an idea for a melody or lyrics before the vocalist comes into question. I feel like the song gained a whole new life when we added the vocals to it.”Īs for the subject matter, sometimes he writes the lyrics, sometimes the vocalists do.

The re-make of ‘Fade’ into ‘Faded’ is a great example of that. It often features vocals from celestial-sounding female guests because, “I believe that vocalists add an extra dimension to a song. His sound is a youthful mix of big room house, progressive and electro styles that are swollen with emotion and rich in sweeping melody. There is always new stuff that I pick up and apply to my own way of producing music.”

I’m still learning new stuff as I go, and I think that will be the case moving forward as well. “I didn’t have a master plan behind my approach, but it was very natural for me to look up tutorials online, and get feedback and tips from other producers. “I just went online and tried to learn the basics,” he recalls. Soon taking inspiration from EDM producers K-391 and Ahrix and lm composers such as Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky, he began messing around on Fruity Loops and, with the feedback of his earliest fans, he started posting music on YouTube and Soundcloud. It was only after he’d been seduced by hearing a song by Italian artist David Whistle that he, with a beautifully youthful naivety, reached out to the producer to ask how he’d done it, as his thoughts turned to beat-making.

Initially he was fascinated by computers, programming and graphic design, and had no musical background whatsoever. It was only back in 2012 than Alan first started trying to produce. And the results and feedback on my music also help to figure out what my fans like and resonate with.” All the numbers and stats really do mean a lot, because it means that I have so many people around the world who appreciate my music and what I do. “I remember first creating a YouTube channel in 2012, and it’s insane to see that it has more than 12 million followers now. “It is very surreal to me as well,” says the charming and likeable Alan. Alan was also ranked 17th in our latest Top 100 DJs poll (“which was insane, and one of the highlights of my year,” he says), and has clocked up hundreds of millions of streams for plenty of singles in between. His YouTube channel recently became the most subscribed portal in Norway, with more than 12 million followers, and it has more than 3.4 billion views in all.
