James Edward Allen, a singer and composer for country music in the United States, was born on June 18, 1985.
The two songs “Best Shot” and “Make Me Want To” as well as the 2018 album Mercury Lane were all released under his contract with Broken Bow Records label Stoney Creek.
He was the second black singer to win the Country Music Association Award for New singer of the Year in 2021 (the first was Darius Rucker in 2009).
In 2016, Allen agreed to a publishing contract with Ash Bowers’ songwriting company Wide Open Music.
He was signed to Broken Bow Records’ Stoney Creek imprint after performing a talent presentation for the label’s reps in early 2017, at which point he released his self-titled debut EP, which Bowers produced.
The executive vice president of the label claimed that signing Allen was one of the label’s quicker decisions ever.
