ALLEN'S STORY

A native of Delaware, Allen made his way to Nashville, the bedrock of country music, almost as a stranger. His first job in Nashville was at a gym and he would often use his spare time to make music.

The 34-year-old who sang "Best Shot" faced a lot of rejection from producers but was determined to keep up his quest for stardom. He lived in his car for a while before moving in with a friend.

The turning point came when Allen met Ash Bowers, the man who became his producer and manager. Bowers also convinced him to rework "Best Shot" and his big break came through.

Now that he is becoming acclaimed, he is working towards expanding his brand, releasing books, and going into fashion.
