“He
dances like Michael, sounds somewhat like Usher and plays the
piano like John Legend. He is an entertainer!” – Jasmine
Thompson, Entertainment Editor
“He’s got the bling-bling diamond
stud earrings, his own stylist and can dance as well as
he can sing. His voice – which sounds like a mix
between Brian McKnight and Usher – is something he’s
perfecting seven days a week!” – Dover Post
“Jimmy’s lyrics, melodic and smooth
vocals far transcends his tender age of 20 and crosses all
ethnicities, genders and generations.” – Glen
Phillips, Musical Director
At the tender age of five (5), Jimmy Allen has been
singing and entertaining audiences. Under the musical influences
of his mother (Angela) and sisters, Jimmy started his musical journey
by using pots and pans to create his own style.
As with all great pure vocalists, Jimmy grew up singing
in the church where he established his roots. Jimmy’s
cousin, the late Charles Gibbs served as his musical mentor. Charles
taught Jimmy the pure synched harmonies and unique melodies you now
experience when you hear him croon.
Without taking any official music lessons, Jimmy is
a fervent drummer, percussionist and pianist. He learned to play
by ear.
In addition to his melodic vocals, Jimmy exhibits his
thespian talents and musical diversity, having stared in lead roles
of Peter Pan, Aladdin, Grease, Wizard of Oz and Footloose. He entered
(as the youngest artist) and finished third in the national talent
search “Best New Talent,” held in Hollywood, where he
performed a very soulful rendition of Brian McKnight’s “Still
In Love With You,” and received a standing ovation.
Currently a sophomore attending Delaware State University,
Jimmy has opened for major artists including Usher, B5, and Musiq
Soulchild to name a few.
Jimmy has finished recording his debut project entitled “Perfect
Stranger.” The first single “Perfect Stranger,” is
currently receiving radio rotation in Philadelphia, Delaware, Baltimore
and in Michigan.
Jimmy’s official website is currently under construction.
