In 2009 the independent artist debuted her first album UnFresh, a collection of 12 original songs about the whirlwind experience of being in love, losing it and the continuous pursuit of happiness.
Music has always been a part of the boundlessly creative songstress who is influenced by soul mavens such as Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and Nina Simone. Even before she could speak those who knew her were mesmerized by the little girl with tight curls who at any given moment would throw her head back and let out her perfect baby scat. Allo’s passion for performing and love of music stayed with her. And three years ago 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. It is because of Allo's desire to connect with her audience, her unceasing effort to create a body of work that is not only innovative but relevant—songs that are simply feel good music—that she continuously wins new fans.
Currently the music maven is working on her much anticipated second album, but her creative capabilities transcend the music world. She has tapped into her breadth of talent and expanded her reach, which has landed her roles in a number of national commercials such as Kohl’s, appearances on the BET hit series THE GAME, as well as national print campaigns. Allo has also snagged a position as a host on G4's popular entertainment talk show Attack of the Show.
For Allo, the creative opportunities are endless, and she plans to embrace all of them. .
