Introduction

Jimmie Allen is a country music singer.

The Origin Story

He was born on June 18th of 1985, in Milton, Delaware, as James Edward Allen.

It was there that he spent all of his childhood before moving in his early 20s.

In 2007, at the age of 22, Allen moved to Nashville, Tennessee.

During his first few years in Nashville, Allen lived in poverty, often living out of his car.

America’s Got Talent

Allen’s first attempt at fame was when he auditioned for America’s Got Talent.

This first audition did not help him get far, as he did not pass the preliminary auditions.

He also auditioned for the tenth season of American Idol, but he was cut before the live voting rounds.

During his time on American Idol, he performed alongside Colton Dixon during one of the group rounds.

It was also during this time that he met and befriended Scotty McCreery, who went on to win the competition that year.

After these initial unsuccessful attempts to enter the music scene, Allen finally caught his lucky break in 2016 when he signed a publishing deal with Wide Open Music, an imprint formed by singer-songwriter Ash Bowers.

After a talent showcase for representatives from Broken Bow Records, he signed with the Nashville-based record label in early 2017.

Debut EP

Under the label’s Stoney Creek imprint, the artist released his self-titled debut EP, which was produced by Bower’s.

According to the label’s executive vice president, the decision to sign Allen as one of their artists was one of the fastest decisions that they had ever made at the label.

His EP was met with a lot of initial success, and it was widely praised.

Country writer for Rolling Stone, Brittney McKenna, compared Jimmie’s R&B influences to country singer Maren Morris.

One of the tracks from the EP, ‘Blue Jean Baby,’ was also added to the Spotify playlist “United States Viral 50 chart”.

In 2018, Allen released his first official single, which was called “Best Shot,”

Within the first week of its release, the song became the second most added song to country music radio playlists.

The song made it onto many charts, including the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and the Country Airplay charts.

In fact, “Best Shot” was Number One hit on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. This made it the first debut song by a black artist that made its way to the top of that chart.

To top off the success of the track, Allen also made a music video to accompany his song.

Debut Album

In October 2018, Allen released his first debut album, which was called Mercury Lane.

The album was also produced by Bowers, and the title of the album came from the name of the street that Allen lived in as a child.

His second single from that album, “Make Me Want To,” was released in February of 2019.

This was the second one of Allen’s since to become a Number one hit on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

After the release of his debut album, Allen also went on tour alongside Scotty McCreery.

In 2019, following the success of his debut album, Allen covered the song “Shallow” alongside Abby Anderson.

The cover was also accompanied by a video.

This song was also included in his new EP, which was titled, Bettie James. The EP was released on July 10th of 2020. This new EP reached the 26th position in the charts.

Apart from his discography receiving popular recognition, Allen was also given his first award in 2021.
