“Music kind of just happened spontaneously a few years back. I found a track on Youtube I liked a lot \u2013 it inspired me and it made me start exploring producing myself. Everything started online with people, or rather nicknames, from around the world helping each other out. Now music is a big part of my life and what I want to pursue”.\u00a0 – Alan Walker<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
