Allen's dream was music, country music, so in 2007 he moved from Milton, Delaware, to Nashville, Tennesee in pursuit of that dream. The first years were hard, and Allen was homeless, living in his car, but he didn't give up.

He entered "American Idol" but didn't make it into the top 24 contestants. Still, Allen didn't give up on his dream, and in 2017, his talent was finally recognized. Broken Bow Records signed him on, and he launched his first record within a year.

While all this excitement was going on, Allen still had time to meet, fall in love and propose to the love of his life, Alexis Gale. He didn't find this sophisticated beauty in Nashville --she's from his hometown, a Milton, Delaware, girl.
