HIP HOP/RAP: Alternative Hip Hop, POP: Today's Top 40



Details:
In a world where multi-talented artists along with new and exciting music seems like more of a past time than it does a reality, Dave Allen has catapulted onto the music scene with a sound that seems almost impossible to match. He steers clear of the conventional hip-hop sound by adding a rock and dance edge to his music, but still manages to keep it within pop boundaries. His music can have the effect of making people want to dance, as well as have them understand and appreciate the adverse lyrics on some of the more serious songs. His high energy live performance and crowd enticing music is just a fraction of what Dave Allen brings to the music industry. In late 2004, Dave released his self-produced debut album entitled "Never Look Back", as well as wrote all the lyrics, and overlooked the whole process of recording the album. Many events in his life have been the motivation for his musical creation such as the death of his brother in 2001, the near death of him brought upon by a house fire in 2002, as well as another near death experience when involved in a motorcycle accident in the summer of 2005. Although faced with much adversity, Dave has fought through it all and has turned all the negatives into positives in order to fuel his ambition and create unparralled music.

Aside from years of playing the piano, drums, and writing songs for other artists in different genres, Dave is also a model and actor as well. His modeling career started when he was contacted by a major modeling agency in NYC, who came across his music website and thought he would have great success in the print and fashion industry. His acting career came about shortly after and he began gaining small roles on the ABC daytime soap opera "All My Children". While his first release Never Look Back was certainly a great album, Dave assures listeners that it was a growing album and gave him alot of experience and thorough knowledge of the industry and what exactly it is that they are looking for. Fast forward 3 years and Dave has recently finished his new album "Broadway Nights". As the originater of Hip-Rock (Catchy hip-hop with a rock edge), Dave describes my music as highly accessible and popular. But, above all else, it is talented. "I feel I have what it takes to create a mix of many different genres to create a 'new' and exciting sound. When people find out that I produce all of my own music, they are extremely surprised...I guess that alone separates me from most of the cliche hip-hop/pop artists today. My music is very modern and hard not to like". Extremely marketable and just as equally talented he hopes he can gain a lot of exposure to the general public because he is positive his music would be embraced by people of all ages around the world.
