Jay Allen sits down and talks with Leigh on this episode of Coda Country Chats and discusses his new radio single, "No Present Like the Time". Jay is set to kick off his "Night of Hope" tour on February 1st, 2024, and he talks about his philanthropic approach to his music career.
About Jay Allen:
Growing up near Cedar Falls, Iowa, Jay Allen developed a deep passion for music, influenced by his father's rock concerts and his mother's heartfelt country tunes during long car rides. After moving to Nashville in 2013, Allen's dedication to country music led him to sign a publishing deal in 2014 and secure an artist deal with SONY/ATV two years later.
While Allen's career was already on an upward trajectory, it was his 2018 hit single, "Blank Stares," that propelled him into the national spotlight. This powerful tribute to his mother, who lost her battle with early-onset Alzheimer's disease the following year, resonated with audiences worldwide and became a viral sensation, accumulating over 500 million views on Facebook. Allen's commitment to raising awareness for the Alzheimer's Association has been unwavering, and he actively participates in various international events, including the esteemed Rita Hayworth Gala.
In recognition of his advocacy work, Jay Allen has received numerous accolades, including The Caregiver Award from the National Alzheimer's Association. Additionally, he was honored with the Favorite Competition Contestant award at the 2022 Country Now Awards and was featured as one of Music Mayhem Magazine's "2023 Artists to Watch."
Furthermore, Allen's appearance on Season 22 of The Voice showcased his exceptional talent, as he mesmerized the audience with his rendition of Cody Johnson's "'Til You Can't," earning chair turns from both Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. This pivotal moment further propelled his career and solidified his position as a rising star in the industry.
Adding to his achievements, Allen was recently invited to the White House to participate in an event supporting the First Lady's Joining Forces initiative. This special invitation highlights the impact and reach of Allen's music, as well as his commitment to meaningful causes.
Most recently, Jay's single "No Present Like The Time" hit country radio and is being added to multiple stations across the country. His journey is a testament to the power of music in connecting people, raising awareness, and making a difference. We believe this would provide a fantastic opportunity to feature an up-and-coming artist with a compelling story and exceptional talent.
