Allen Stone

ALLEN STONE

Anyone who was there in Brussels at the beginning of 2012 will agree: Allen Stone (24) is one of the new soul sensations of recent years. The pastor's son from Seattle, born in Chewelah (Washington), has no problem getting his audience around his finger. Together with the pedigree musicians from his backing band, Stone knows how to effortlessly mix pop, R&B, folk and vintage gospel into an accessible and unique sound.

After 'Last to Speak' from 2010, being - also in his own management recorded - album 'Allen Stone' (2011) already the definitive breakthrough in the USA. Like a white cross between Prince (that falsetto) and Stevie Wonder, Allen Stone is an artist with a golden future who lives for the pleasure of making music.
