Allen Stone says of the genre; “Soul music from that time wasn’t just about bumpin’ and grindin’ at the club- it was a huge part of a cultural movement. That’s where my inspiration comes from”. It is no surprise that Allen Stone has drawn comparisons to Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Donny Hathaway and Bill Withers (The New York Times).

Allen Stone will be bringing a new album with him, his debut album was the self released Last To Speak (2010) he was then signed to ATO records who re-released his second, self titled album (2012). Allen Stone jumped into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart and entered the Top 5 of iTunes R&B/ Soul Charts.
From the Church to the screen, Allen Stone’s first national TV appearance on “Conan” came after the music booker saw a YouTube video of Allen performing in his mother’s living room (The Clip has now been viewed over 2.5 million times and growing) . Since then, he has appeared on Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call with Carson Daly just to name a few.
