Efter at have droppet college flyttede han til Seattle for at kickstarte sin musikkarriere.
I de følgende år har Allen opbygget en stor skare følgere. Han blander alt fra soul-pop og folk-rock til R&B og funk, hvilket er afspejlet i han fem albums – fra hans debut album fra 2010, “Last to Speak,” til 2021’s “Apart”, der er et intimt album optaget i en ombygget hytte under pandemien.

A Bit of Both
If you look towards heaven
On any given night
You may see the stars glowing
Shining ever bright
But are they really shining
Or just burning in the sky?
Well, maybe they're a little bit of both at the same time
Well, how come some days you're living
And other days it's death?
How come everything we're given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don't rhyme?
Until you're horizontal, life ain't a straight line, yeah
Maybe w?'re all a little bit of ev?rything combined
Feeling like Superman
But I don't got no cape to fly, yeah
Wanna push against the atmosphere
And leave gravity defied
But is it really flying
Or just falling redefined?
Well, maybe it could be a bit of both at the same time
Well, how come some days you're living
And other days it's death?
How come everything we're given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don't rhyme?
Until you're horizontal, life ain't a straight line, yeah
Well, maybe we're all a little bit of everything combined
Maybe we're a little bit of both, yeah
Everything withers after it grows
Maybe we're a little bit of both at the same time
How come some days you're living
And other days it's death?
How come everything we're given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don't rhyme?
Until you're horizontal, life ain't a straight line, yeah
Well, maybe we're all a little bit of
Maybe we're all a little bit of
Maybe we're all a little bit of everything combined
