Walker drew inspiration from producers such asTiësto and film composers such asHans Zimmer.
Walker was inspired to start producing by Italian music producer DJ Ness.[223] When making his debut single "Fade", Walker was influenced by the sound of the song "Nova" by Dutch music producer Ahrix.[19] He has often spoken about the influence of Dutch music producerTiësto.[14] He is also inspired by music producers such asK-391,Kygo andAvicii,[224][225][226] as well as film composers such asHans Zimmer andSteve Jablonsky.[1][20]
Walker is also influenced by video game music, drawing inspiration fromThe Legend of Zelda series, as well as classic games likeTetris. After playing a remix of a music track from the gameOld School RuneScape, onTomorrowland in 2025, he was invited to create two new tracks to be added to that game, in the game's music style.[227] Other influences include theCall of Duty series andmovie music.[9]
"Faded" is anelectro house EDM song.[228] The song features a melancholic and emotional melody and a tempo of 90 bpm, which makes the song often categorised as "downtempo".[14] This style is characteristic of Walker's earlier music and is the sound that propelled him into the mainstream.
Walker has stated that he focuses on melody and vocals over elements such as drums or bass.[14] His production process begins with exchanging ideas to and reaching out to other vocalists or producers.[14] Walker himself sometimes writes his lyrics, while other times the vocalist does.[18] In other cases, melody and lyric ideas already exist before a vocalist is considered.[18] When creating melodies, he draws inspiration from what he hears or from ideas that suddenly pop into his head,[237] which he either records as voice memo or writes the melody down immediately.[237] He seesartificial intelligence (AI) as an essential tool for music production.[238]
Symbol consisting of intertwined letters "A" and "W" used by Walker as a logo
A formerbedroom producer, Walker has been featured in multiple publications as a YouTube success stry.[225][233][239] He is also considered one of the most popular Norwegian artists on the world market.[8] Naman Ramachandran ofVariety described Walker as "one of electronic music's most celebrated producers."[199] Audun Vinger ofDagens Næringsliv called Walker "one of the most successful artists in the Norwegian and Nordic music industry in recent years".[240]
To protect his image, he uses a hoodie and face mask.[239][228] In the first promo pictures his management handed out, Walker's face was barely visible, and in the music video for his single "Alone", he is dressed as a black shadow figure. This is, according to Walker, a carefully planned image drawn up together with his record company Sony.[241] On stage, he is accompanied by two other men who are also masked.[242] On occasion, Walker also sometimes wears a white mask and hoodie, explaining that, without headlights, artists in black could be difficult to see on stage.[228]

Walker's songs have been criticised for having too many composers credited. Walker received criticism for a walkthrough video on the YouTube channel Future Music Magazine about the making of his song "Alone". Because his co-producersMood Melodies were heavily involved in the song's production, the video drew backlash from many of Walker's fans, who considered Mood Melodies to be his ghost producers.[251][252] Norwegian newspaperBergens Tidende also criticised Walker's song "On My Way" for having 12 composers and nine lyricists credited.[253]
Walker andJulie Bergan first collaborated on the song "Ignite", released in 2018. Bergan also sang on Walker's song "I Don't Wanna Go". For both this song and "Ignite", she served as a vocalist rather than a songwriter.[254] In 2022, work progressed on the new song "Ritual", with Bergan participating as a lyricist and vocalist.[255] During final negotiations for the release of "Ritual", a disagreement arose over the distribution percentage of the songwriting credits. Walker's management company, MER, offered Bergan a 5% share, but Bergan demanded 10%. Negotiations broke down, and a version without Bergan's vocals was released.[254]
This decision prompted Bergan's management company, Circle, to prepare a lawsuit against MER seeking damages for breach of contract and unfair use.[254] MER stated the damages could amount to millions of dollars;[256] however, MER's attorneys completely denied Bergan's claims.[254] Additionally, despite requests that she not appear, the music video for "Ritual" included footage of Bergan.[257] Although the video was later removed from Walker's YouTube channel, no new footage was released, leaving only a version with audio and still images.[257]
