After successful collaborations with global artists like Nick Jonas, KSHMR, and Jason Derulo, Indian singer-rapper King has teamed up with Norwegian DJ-producer Alan Walker for their latest single, Story of a Bird which is now streaming on all major platforms.
Speaking about the project, King said the experience of working with Walker was creatively enriching, Hindustan Times quoted the rapper, “The best part about collaborating with international artistes is that we get to explore different sonic worlds. When the collaborator comes from a space outside of India, their ears are used to very different kind of musicality and the fun is to find my space for Indian melodies in these international sounding soundscapes.”
King also revealed that he already has plans for a future meet up with the DJ, “It’s fantastic to find a brother in an artiste who is inspiring. Next time he is in India, I will make sure we hang out more. I might take him around Delhi.”
King further shared that the collaboration came together quickly, “This was one of the fastest projects I worked on. Alan’s team was super hardworking, round the clock. It took me a day to come up with the writing.”
Known for hits like Maan Meri Jaan, Tu Aake Dekh Le, and Bumpa, King emerged as a prominent name in India’s indie-pop and rap scene over the years.
Meanwhile, Alan Walker returned to India in April 2025 just six months after his last tour in October 2024, performing across cities like Guwahati, Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar, and Jaipur. The DJ praises Indian fans, culture, and music, and shares his interest in working on a Bollywood project.
