Learn MoreRecord Deal and New Album
In 2015 Allan sent some demo songs to a record company in the UK and within a week he got a phone call from a record executive (Jamesie “The man in black”) to discuss a plan to record a new album and sign a record deal. Allan worked on the project in secrecy for about a year as he knew he was getting signed but really could not tell anyone all the details until the papers were signed. Now te album is complete, the waiting is over and the doors are open!
Allan officially signed a record and publishing deal June 1, 2015. Now an international recording artist, his new debut album “Doors to Somewhere” was released August 28th, with world-wide distribution under his new record label “But Music Group”. AJ wrote, performed, recorded and produced the 12 new songs.
The record / publishing / promotion company Allan signed with, But Music Group, was created by a very famous promoter. He is very well known in the music industry and some know him as the “Man in Black”. He has worked with and promoted many iconic acts such as Elton John, Foreigner, Joe Walsh, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Cars, Bryan Adams, Yes, Robert Plant to name a few.
Allan’s songs have already received some great feedback from fans around the world as well as from important music biz executives. One example is, during a recent record company meeting in the UK, Perry Howard, president of BMI America said “Allan’s songs are great” and production wise to quote “With the likes of Jeff Lynne, George Harrison and Steely Dan”.
Allan has begun working on a live show to promote the album as well as plans for live webcast shows and music videos.
