In 2012 he started making music on his computer laptop, and with the help and online following and feedbacks, his own produced songs soon caught the attention of the record labels.
His worldwide digital song and EDM-hit "Fade" gained attention after its release on YouTube via the label NoCopyrightSounds (NCS). The song was then released on a compilation called ‘Uplifting’. The tracks "Spectre" and "Force" followed in 2015. He then signed with MER Musikk under Sony Music Sweden and his first single under that label was "Faded", a remastered vocal version of "Fade", released in December 2015. "Faded" included vocals by the Norwegian singer Iselin Solheim. The song topped both the Norwegian singles chart and Swerdish chart and was a top 10 hit in Finland and Denmark as well as charting in other countries.
After the song and the video for "Faded" were released, they gained worldwide attention. As of June 2016, "Faded" had over 356 million views on YouTube, an incredible feat. On 24th May 2016, he then released a teaser for his new song "Sing Me To Sleep". Featuring once again Iselin Solheim on vocals, this new EDM-song was finally released on 3rd June 2016.

Alan Walker ft. Iselin Solheim - Sing Me To Sleep
Wait a second, let me catch my breath
Remind me how it feels to hear your voice
Your lips are movin', I can't hear a thing
Livin' life as if we had a choice
Anywhere, any time
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
Yesterday got away
Melody stuck inside your head
A song in every breath
Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
So sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
Remember me, no time cannot erase
I can hear your whispers in my mind
I've become what you cannot embrace
Our memory will be my lullaby
Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
Won't you sing me to sleep now?
Sing me to sleep
A-anytime, I would do
T-time away, Yesterday-day
A-anytime, I would do
T-time away, Yesterday-day
