Since 2002, there has been a growing buzz in Spokane, Washington focusing on rising singer-songwriter, Mark Allen, a rapidly developing artist still in his teens. Mark crafts songs that stay with audiences long after leaving a show. His charming mannerisms, natural style, and awe-inspiring voice have unified him with a continuously growing fan base.At such a young age, Mark Allen has the ability to create cultivated songs with inspiring lyrics and melodies that whisper to the heart. He writes every day, turning teen angst and emotion into song. He loves to be a part of the writing. These are the songs that I will be singing forever, contributing to writing helps me to be more familiar with my songs.His love for his fans is immense. He views each person as a friend on or off the stage. He carries a conversation like he has known you for years, often making people check twice that they are indeed talking to someone who is 17, not 25. He has that same effect on the stage, convincing people with a voice beyond his years that he is older than he really happens to be."I love every person who comes to watch me perform. Without fans, there would be no reason to do what Im doing. Its amazing how much support comes from each one of them!"Even in his toddler years, Mark would run around singing anything that he knew the words to, or didnt know the words to, it didnt matter. Mark developed a love for music before he was walking, and he still carries that love with him. He is currently taking school classes at home, enabling him to perform and pursue his music career.Mark was first trained classically by voice teacher Steve Mortier. After a year, he came across famed vocal coach Jennifer Stott Madsen, and from there he began to work on his pop sound. She encouraged him to write and he soon found his songwriting skills and sound, developing an over four octave range. After four years of training, Mark has produced the warm, intimate voice that fans love and hear on stage. Finding his place in a Pop/Rock sound, Mark blows away audiences with his strong vocals and emotional depth.With much encouragement from his vocal and performance coach, Jennifer Stott Madsen, Mark was introduced to Nashville producer Randel Kartchner. Randy immediately saw the potential inside this young recording artist and brought two songs to the table that would later be turned into the single; "If That's How It Feels" released October 15, 2005. Fans fell in love with the CD immediately.
