COLLEGE
Livingstone College Alum

Composer-clinician-conductor-pianist Frederick Allen is a classically trained concert musician who studied with distinguished professors and celebrated artists, received his college education from Livingstone College School of Music founded by the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in Music with concentrations in Piano and Vocal Performance.
Frederick is known as a man of character, integrity, and musician extraordinaire. He was born to Deacon Louis Allen and Flora Burch in Florence South Carolina. His grandmother is the Honorable Minister Jessie S. Burch of Lilly of the Valley Holiness Church, Chesterfield South Carolina. The Reverend Dr. B. W. Freeman and First Lady Anne Freeman of St. Matthew Missionary Baptist Church, Bethune South Carolina are his God-Parents.
Growing up "in the church," Frederick set aside his life to ministering through music and ushering the masses into the Presence of the Lord. He is a man with a God-given mission for ministering to the whole man, spirit, mind, and body. He is the new millennium David. He is one of the world's renowned and anointed musicians and has played, song and traveled nationally and internationally.
Definitely not your typical minister of music, Frederick has entered into a covenant with the Lord to impact the body of Christ toward education in the area of music. Frederick maintains, "Our biggest enemy lies within our own being." Today, through the lives of his spiritual fathers, Frederick’s ministry has grown and prospered, touching lives worldwide.
He has ministered throughout North America and Jamaica West Indies. Frederick is a member at Timmonsville Missionary Baptist Church – Mount Croghan, South Carolina, Co-owner of JR-Production (Web Marketing) and owner of Fallen Musike (Music Consultant Firm) both in Charlotte, North Carolina. Frederick firmly believes God has called him to the Latter Day Evangelism of the World - to edify, strengthen and to bring deliverance to the Body of Christ through music!

My Interests



I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet the many men and women who are presently in ministry to reflect on the purpose of why we have been called to this place of our lives. I would like to meet those who have mentored or who have manifested their ministries within myself. I would like to meet those persons who will be beneficial to me and my ministry. Most of all meet, the Reverend Dr. Richard Smallwood... So shall it be!
