EDDIE ALLEN
Eddie Allen's talented fingers hit the piano at the age of five. Over the last 32 years, he has played in various bands and has been writing, arranging and recording a variety of unique sounds on keyboards and digital piano.
A resident of Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Allen has always had a natural affinity for music. He played the piano by ear throughout his childhood years and became more serious about writing and arranging in high school and through 4 years of college at Fairleigh Dickinson University, majoring in music education. With his sheepskin in tow, he has pursued a music teaching career, as well as, a performing and recording career.
Allen has written over 80 songs and is a versatile composer. Instrumental, New Age, Jazz, Latin, Country, R&B, Ballads and Soundtrack music are all part of his music catalogue. In 1993, Rodell Records, in Hollywood, California, featured one of Allen's songs, "I Don't Mind Thinkin'" on its compilation compact disc, entitled "Diamonds in the Rough IX". Adam Rodell, President of Rodell Records said of Allen, "Eddie Allen's composition wizardry will earn him a place at the head of the music business table."
Allen has also earned some local recognition with his Instrumental relaxation album entitled "Songs to the Fire", which features peaceful piano music and soothing strings. In the New Hope, Pennsylvania market, where New Age music is a hot ticket, Allen's album has been relaxing its residents for the last 7 years. His album is currently being distributed with the help of the American Cancer Society, to all of their registered cancer patients and survivors. "Many cancer patients and survivors have told me they found this album to be an excellent way to get through their treatments and to lower their stress level, using visual imagery", says Allen.
"Music is my reason for being" says Allen. "I have my own studio, so when those ideas start popping into my head at 2:00 in the morning, I can immediately satisfy my need to create." There are 3 new albums waiting in the wings for label representation: "Saturday Matinee", an Instrumental movie theme song album, "A Sparkling Christmas", an Instrumental holiday album and "Café Karmej", an Adult Contemporary/New Age instrumental album.
