His music earned him, "Nashville Top Independent Male Country Artist of the Year" in 2012.

Aaron Chemielewski, who has worked with Taylor Swift said: "Chase Allan is a cross between Bryan Adams and Keith Urban. A little bit of country and a little bit of rock and roll. This guy can sing, write catchy songs and knows how to put on a great show."
