He was originally called "DJ Walkzz" and was part of several production collectives before becoming "Walkzz". The current logo consists of the initials "A" and "W" of Walker's real name, and was designed by Walker himself in 2013.{{Cite web |title=10 Things You Should Know About Alan Walker |url=https://myspace.com/article/2017/2/1/alan-walker-10-things |access-date=2024-09-09 |website=Myspace}} To project his image, he uses a hoodie and face mask similar to concept.{{Cite web |last=Aas |first=Magnus Lutnæs |date=9 July 2016 |title=Norges nye stjerne Alan Walker om suksessen: – Magisk |trans-title=Norway's new star Alan Walker on the success: - Magical |url=https://www.nrk.no/kultur/norges-nye-stjerne-alan-walker-om-suksessen_-_-magisk-1.13031735 |access-date=10 March 2024 |website=NRK |language=nb-NO}} In an interview with KKBox, Walker said: "At first we were thinking about ideas like how can we promote Alan Walker as an artist, but then we started creating symbols that anyone could do, and anyone with a hoodie and a face mask could do it. You can become a 'Walker' right away, and we are all equal," he explained his concept.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjEqfmOyw1c |title=神秘面罩下的Alan Walker |date=2016-12-23 |last=KKBOX |language=zh |trans-title=Alan Walker under the mysterious mask |access-date=2024-12-04 |via=YouTube}} In an interview with NRK, when asked why he used a mask, he said, "To maintain the image they gave me. Basically, I'm focused on anonymity, so no one knows. But I can join Alan Walker and show that masks can look good on anyone." In an interview with The Hindu, he said he didn't wear the mask "to be some mysterious icon" but rather "I wanted people to focus on my music rather than who I am as a person."

In the first promo pictures his management handed out, Walker's face was barely visible. Also in the music video for his single "Alone", he is all dressed as a black shadow figure. This is, according to the artist himself, a carefully planned image drawn up together with the record company Sony.{{Cite web |last=Rolfsnes |first=May-Helen |date=2016-11-09 |title=Alan Walker droppar maska |trans-title=Alan Walker drops the mask |url=https://www.nrk.no/vestland/alan-walker-droppar-maska-1.13219827 |access-date=2025-01-28 |website=NRK |language=nb-NO}} "In a meeting with them we talked about how we could build the profile of Alan Walker", said Walker to the newspaper VG. "They asked about my interests. I replied PC, computer gaming and stuff like "Anonymous" and computer hacking where hoodies play a role."{{cite web |date=24 June 2016 |title=Derfor stiller Alan Walker med maske på scenen |trans-title=That's why Alan Walker wears a mask on stage |url=http://www.vg.no/rampelys/musikk/alan-walker/derfor-stiller-alan-walker-med-maske-paa-scenen/a/23722521/ |access-date=2024-10-23 |website=VG |publisher= |language=nb-no}}

Walker acknowledges that it's a difficult time keeping low profile. Both he and his management prefer that he be characterised by the hoodie with a logo on the back. "When I first created a Instagram account I never had pictures of myself, nor of nature and such. But it is difficult to remain anonymous."

On stage, he is accompanied by two other men who are also masked. "It's rare to see a trio in electronic music. I think it is a cool concept. We are in a way a small band." He also said that while he used to mostly wear black on stage, he now sometimes wears a white mask and hoodie. "I realized that without headlights, the audience could barely see the artist on stage," he said in an interview, adding, "I realized that color could be incorporated into an artist's stage presence."

At a press conference on 9 November 2016, Walker said: "The concept with the mask is very cool, that is inspired by the hacker group "Anonymous" and the television series Mr. Robot. I have a background as a gamer and kept on with it before I started with music. By taking on a mask I can be immediately seen as a gamer."{{cite web |date=11 November 2016 |title=Derfor kaster Alan Walker masken |trans-title=That's why Alan Walker throws away his mask |url=http://www.fanaposten.no/nyheter/derfor-kaster-alan-walker-masken/lgcpkk!fe35c92f478642e795f9ee93d1023b60/ |access-date=2024-10-23 |website=fanaposten.no |publisher=Fanaposten |language=nb-no}}

"I chose to quietly without a mask today. The concept ends in the trilogy. It will be interesting to open new doors and explore a bit. The mask is not lost permanently, but temporarily", which means he will take a break from his image – for a time. "With Alan Walker, the music is the focus, not necessarily everything around. It is a recurrent theme in the music of "Faded", "Sing Me To Sleep" and "Alone", which is a kind of conclusion to what one might call a trilogy", explains spokesperson Yonas Aregai for the record label MER."

Walker was inspired by Italian DJ David Whistle, who he said in an interview was "the one who inspired me to start producing". He is also inspired by fellow Norwegian producer K-391. In an interview with the American online magazine The Knockturnal, Walker said, "My producer idol is K-391. He was a big inspiration and helped me create my sound." When making his debut single "Fade", Walker was influenced by the sound of the song "Nova" by Dutch music producer Ahrix. In an interview, he said, "The melody and the way the song progresses is very unique, which later inspired me to make "Fade". The classical aspects of Walker's songs were influenced by film composers such as Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky.

In an interview with Norwegian newspaper Bergensavisen, when asked "Are you inspired by Kygo?", Walker replied, "He's a great inspiration, but we're not."{{Cite web |last=Ødegård |first=Ann Kristin |date=2015-04-11 |title=Bergens nye YouTube-suksess |trans-title=Bergen's new YouTube success |url=https://www.ba.no/kultur/bergens-nye-youtube-suksess/s/5-8-53527?ns_campaign=article&ns_mchannel=recommend_button&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=facebook&ns_fee=0 |access-date=2025-01-26 |website=Bergensavisen |language=no}}

He has often spoken about the influence of Dutch music producer Tiësto, saying in a 2019 interview with Rolling Stone India:

{{Blockquote|text=He's always been a very big inspiration to me growing up. Since I was 9-years-old, Tiësto was obviously everywhere. He has always been a big inspiration and influence, and he has always been able to renew himself in the music industry – that's what is really incredible about him. I'm really excited and honored that he was one of the first people who actually picked up my single "Faded" and boosted it by making a remix for his tour. It was fantastic and I'm so thankful that he did it in the very beginning.{{Cite web|last=Xalxo

Walker is also influenced by video game music, drawing inspiration from The Legend of Zelda series, as well as classic games like Tetris. In an interview, he said, "Sometimes when I play a video game and listen to the game's music, a new style suddenly emerges." Other influences include the Call of Duty series and movie music. "Video games and film music provide similar inspiration," he said. In an interview with India Today, he said, "Games expose me to unique sounds and atmospheres that inspire my work."

Norwegian journalist Øyvind Holen described Walker's musical style as "much darker and closer to minor keys than the harmonies that characterize Kygo's contemporary tropical house. Walker's music is reminiscent of slightly slower progressive house, 1990s trance music, or dubstep with a smoother rhythmic edge."

Walker's main priorities when creating music are melody, melancholy, and mood. "I think sometimes people focus too much on having the best drum sample or having the perfect drum beat for a song or the perfect bass line, but at the end of the day, the audience, they don't think about whether the drums sound cool or if the bass sounds amazing, it's all about the melodies. You won't be singing and going around beatboxing to the beat – most likely – or trying to remember where the bass line goes. You'll be going around trying to remember the melody of the song or the vocals. That is actually what I want to try and focus on in my music, because I've always been a fan of melodies," Walker said in an interview with Rolling Stone India.

Walker sees Artificial intelligence (AI) as an essential tool for music production. "I think it's very important to embrace AI in an era where everything is technology-driven. We need to figure out how we can leverage it," he said in an interview with Times of India.{{Cite news |date=2024-10-01 |title=Every show is an adventure influenced by local culture: Alan Walker |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/every-show-is-an-adventure-influenced-by-local-culture-alan-walker/articleshow/113788535.cms |access-date=2024-12-04 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}

Audun Vinger of Dagens Næringsliv called Walker "one of the most successful artists in the Norwegian and Nordic music industry in recent years" and said that "he has left a mark on both digital and concertgoers on a completely different level than most Norwegian artists, in fact a bigger mark than all the Norwegian artists currently appearing on the so-called best songs and best albums of the year lists."{{Cite web |last=Vinger |first=Audun |date=2018-12-14 |title=Masken faller ikke |trans-title=The mask doesn't fall off. |url=https://www.dn.no/magasinet/musikk/alan-walker/musikk/anmeldelser/masken-faller-ikke/2-1-500100 |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=www.dn.no |language=no}} Forbes' Eric Fuller also said that during an interview with Walker, he was impressed by "Walker's easy-going demeanor and work ethic" and that his "familiarity with current trends in electronic dance music will help grow his already fast-growing audience and create more opportunities for collaborations with his peers".{{Cite web |last=Fuller |first=Eric |title=Electronic Dance Music Star Alan Walker Is Having His Moment |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericfuller/2024/09/23/electronic-dance-music-star-alan-walker-is-having-his-moment/ |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=Forbes |language=en}}

As of September 2024, Walker has 115 million followers across his social media channels and has generated over 80 billion streams of his audio and video content.

On the other hand, Walker's songs have been criticized for having too many composers credited. Walker received criticism for a "walk-through" video on the YouTube channel Future Music Magazine about the making of his song "Alone." Because his co-producers Mood 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".{{Cite web |last=Butz |first=Patrick |title=Alan Walker: Shitstorm wegen Ghostproducing |url=https://www.dance-charts.de/201706088748/alan-walker-shitstorm-wegen-ghostproducer |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=Dance-Charts.de |language=de-DE}} Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende also criticized Walker's song "On My Way" for having 12 composers and nine lyricists credited.{{Cite web |date=2019-03-30 |title=Så mange komponister må det til for å lage en Alan Walker-hit |url=https://www.bt.no/kultur/i/g7kpAA/saa-mange-komponister-maa-det-til-for-aa-lage-en-alan-walker-hit |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=www.bt.no |language=nb}}

In 2022, Walker created a song titled "Ritual" which had been played numerous times on his performances before release in November 2022, the same date as he released Walkerverse Pt. II, an EP the song originally was part of. The song ended up being released as a single due to issues. Julie Bergan, a Norwegian singer-songwriter Walker collaborated with before, was reportedly part of the songwriting team, and she accompanied Walker as a singer for the song in live performances. The song featuring her voice was frequently used in teasers for the second part of the Walkerverse album, but they were ultimately unused in the final song.{{Cite web |last=Talseth |first=Thomas |date=2022-12-10 |title=Samarbeidet mellom Julie Bergan og Alan Walker brutt |trans-title=The collaboration between Julie Bergan and Alan Walker has been broken |url=https://www.vg.no/rampelys/musikk/i/APRz2x/samarbeidet-mellom-julie-bergan-og-alan-walker-brutt?restrictions=login |access-date=2024-08-21 |website=VG |language=no}}

Upon release, many fans were critical of the new singer and deemed her vocals inferior to Bergan's. Bergan's manager Cecile Torp-Holte stated that there was no agreement between her and MER on using Bergan's vocals. According to Torp-Holte, six concerts were planned in the US where Bergan was to perform with Walker, including a performance of "Ritual" as part of a larger agreement. She also said that the song's original release date was 28 October, and the negotiations on sharing rights collapsed shortly before.
