Allo’s passion for performing and love of music stayed with her. Allo’s roaring ambition led her to learn the guitar and take her passion to the next level. She has not put her beloved companion down since. 

     At the core of Allo’s appeal is her ability to infuse her real life experience, her humor and her infectious personality within her music.
