ALLEN T.

Hello Friends, Born In Baltimore I was exposed to music all my life and ever since I can remember. I sat in front of the radio and imagined I was one of those musicians coming out of the speakers or on TV. At 7 yrs old I got my 1st guitar (plastic and by Emenee) and happy as can be, By the age of 9 I was playing with the big boys in my neighborhood. By age 11 I met Mr. Rob who had sons around my age who also played and formed a band called The Junior Ultra tones. Mr. Rob knowing music and theory taught me for many years on how to play the guitar correctly. Exposing me to the Jazz greats who came through the Left Bank Jazz Society gave me even more insight on how it's really done. The Ultratones were very popular in Baltimore back in the day. We even had the opportunity to play with some of those great artist like, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman,Frank Foster and Richard Groove Holmes.As time moves forward (17) I had the honor to tour with The Whatnauts who shared the stage with the Dells, The Intruders and many more artist from that time. I also played with The Pockets who were produced by Verdine White (EWF) and hit stages with Ashford and Simpson, The Whispers gospel artist Merna Sommers, Jean Karn, Emure Diodato The Vibrations and Phyliss Hyman and a host of supreme entertainers.In 1989 after years of playing with Gary Grainger and Brother Greg Started touring with Sax Man Kim Waters, Glenn Jones and Melissa Morgan for about five years. After A bad Marriage and a serious drug addiction I decided to go into hiding to get it together. Clean and ready I was introduced to Mr.Sean Spencer (Dj spen) and started recording guitar tracks for the Basement Boyz (house music)and still from time to time now affiliated with Code Red Recording and traveled to The UK.Currently I'm producing as well as singing and playing and My Motto Is " I mean What I play and I play what I Mean!" I consider myself a well rounded musician. I try to cover most of the types of todays music, but I prefer to belt out a tune playing by myself (Joe Pass Style) or with other well trained cats. So... Welcome and sit back and enjoy the many types of music God Inspires me to create.1 last thing people. The songs you hear are incomplete their just ideas and experiments I'm fooling around with. Feel free to comment " I like or don't like" will do, Thanks.
