Hailing from Chicago, Illinois comes Philip Allen, a multi-talented singer-songwriter with a message for the world. His music touches on subjects from love to faith and passion in a way that completely sweeps listeners off their feet. But don’t just take our word for it, check him out after the article!
As a Christian, Philip Allen was keen on carrying his values with him into the music industry. This manifests in his art, as his music is a refreshing take on some of the qualities we love about gospel. It’s his ability to mesh everything else we love into that faith based message that makes Philip Allen a force to be reckoned with. His single “Seventeen” is the perfect example of this, as he uses reggae inspired drums and grooves to make the perfect dance track. On “Seventeen” Philip Allen speaks of his aspirations as an artist and the road he’s taken to get where he’s at, guided all the way by experience and an artist dealing with writer’s block. Philip’s contemporary take on gospel, EDM, pop, reggae, and rap altogether isn’t a mistake; it’s the foundation on which the young singer-songwriter places his strength as an artist.
