Allen describes her journey in to music as serendipitous but destined. While constantly moving homes to accommodate her family's duties, Allen always kept her tape deck playing, and sang to herself in the backseat of the car. All those road trips in the car created a sound that has been described as Cat Power fused with Norah Jones.

Allen is currently recording her EP album, due out this spring.
