Michael Allen - Own The Night

My Name is Michael Allen,

25 From Sheffield South Yorkshire,

I started singing from the age of 12 at School with My Music Teacher who taught me how to play Piano and my first ever solo was Let It Be By The Beatles in front of The School.

As a Child I had always dreamed of been on The Stage performing Week In Week out Entertaining People and following in the foot steps of My Grandfather.

As a Child I was Friends with a Certain Member of Sheffield’s Pride and Glory (Alex Turner Of The Arctic Monkeys) and Practiced Regularly with him Covering The Beatles Material as we were Both Crazy on them.

Alex’s Ambitions Were Incredible and those Ambitions have made him who he is today, If Only I had the same Ambition at The Time (Muttering Under My Breath)

From there on I went into different phases and different Genre’s of Music which made me Musically aware of the different styles out there….Good and Bad.

Been the Grandson of a Frank Sinatra Tribute Act who performed In The West End Regularly had its advantages too as My Grandfather would play me a lot of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Otis Redding and My Favourite Cruna Matt Munro. This Music was what Inspired me to sing more than any other type of Genre.

So I became All Round Musically Aware Ranging with Music from the 40’s up-to the present market.

I have attended Auditions for the Voice, The X Factor and attended Competitions when in Holiday Parks and have won many Competitions on Holiday Parks.

I have gained some brilliant experience through The Voice and especially The X Factor as I had progressed quite far within the Competition.

I am currently Performing at local Gigs and am Currently Wedding Singing on most Saturday Nights all over South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and The Nottinghamshire areas and I have Gigs lined up for 2014 including The 02 Academy Sheffield, Headlining for a Local Bar at Tram Lines and supporting a Sheffield Legend which is an Honour to be able to Show Case some of My Original Music.

My Biggest Role Model to date within The Music Industry has to be Adele who is quite Arguably the most Powerful Female Singer in the world, Beating Many Records and setting a New World Record by her Inspirational Album 21, And helped me to Recover from a Major Loss within My Life

There are many Artists from my Home town too that Inspire me such as Richard Hawley (Pulp), Arctic Monkeys, Jarvis Cocker, Def Leppard and who can forget Human League.

Other Artists that I find Inspiring would be Jake Bugg who is a Young and Very Talented Musician working with the best Producer out there….Rick Ruben. He (Jake Bugg) has been compared as the Male version of Adele.      I am a Huge Fan Of Etta James and Amy Winehouse also

I am now Currently Working On My first Album with Producer Alan Smythe (Creator Of The Arctic Monkeys First Ever Demo Disc Live at The BoardWalk) Which is taking a Lengthy Process and is Incredibly Hard Work.

My Aim is to Prove that I am not a One Trick Pony with My first Album and so there will be Ballads, Indie and Electro Type Music on The First Album. I hope to be able to make Sheffield Proud and go as far as I possibly can within The Music Industry.

Never Doubt Dreams
