Creativity Quote by Alan Walker

"I think it's very important to create your own style and be unique because that's what sets you apart from others"

About this Quote

In a music economy where sameness is rewarded by algorithms and punished by audiences, Alan Walker is essentially describing survival tactics. “Create your own style” sounds like generic self-help until you remember what Walker represents: an electronic artist who became a brand as much as a producer, with a signature look (hood, mask), a consistent sonic palette, and a fan community (“Walkers”) that treats identity like a shared language. Uniqueness here isn’t a mystical spark; it’s product differentiation with emotional stakes.

The phrasing is tellingly practical: “important,” “sets you apart.” That’s the vocabulary of someone who knows how quickly trends flatten you. In EDM especially, presets, sample packs, and TikTok-driven micro-genres can make tracks feel interchangeable. Walker’s line quietly pushes back against the idea that success is just about technical polish or chasing the current drop structure. The subtext is a warning: you can follow the rules and still be invisible.

Context matters, too. Walker rose during the mid-2010s, when bedroom producers could suddenly reach global audiences, but also when the sheer volume of releases made it harder to be remembered. “Be unique” is as much about narrative as sound: visuals, ethos, consistency, the ability to signal “this is me” in seconds. It’s also a gentle challenge to younger creators: stop waiting for permission or a perfect template. If you don’t author your identity, the platform will do it for you.
