While studying at university and qualifying as a secondary schoolteacher, Walker became a church organist, wrote a number of choral settings and chants, dabbled in folk with a residency at King's Lynn Folk Club, and led several small bands (Shades of Harmony, Tristars, Millionaires). He made his first pop singles for independent labels, including 'GCE for Love', 'First Class Faker' and 'Jane', collaborating with Parisian songwriter Nicolas Bensaid. Teaching in Victoria, Australia, Walker continued writing and performing across the state with rock group 'Apollo 5', led by guitarist Geoff Stobie.
Back in the UK, Walker continues to perform at hundreds of venues and to write and record his own music and others' material, and collaborates on musical shows with author George Taylor. The album 'New Star' features new songs alongside remixed older tracks.
