Rich Allo

Born and raised in Jersey, Channel Islands, Rich grew up listening to all genres of music, particularly rock and pop, through which he discovered some of his favourite artists: Queen, David Bowie, Stereophonics and Phil Collins. His passion for performance began at an early age, shown by singing on park swings as a toddler and performing Queen tribute concerts for his family. He learnt guitar and drums at age 6, but didn’t pursue singing properly until 2014. He attended De La Salle College and it was there where he developed his interests in writing and music. It was also during this time Rich started playing drums and acoustic guitar, building his musical abilities. On top of this, he explored his dramatic interests by joining Drama Lab and the Actors' Centre Theatre Company. This not only helped his vocal abilities, but also began his actor training, offering him a variety of roles in productions such as 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Macbeth', 'It Snows' and 'The Guffin'. After completing his GCSEs, Rich attended Hautlieu School for his A-Levels - by 2016 he had achieved three A-Levels in English, Media and Geography, as well as produced two short films, starred in a musical and risen to the role of Deputy Head Boy! Now, Rich is studying Creative Writing and Drama at Kingston University, London. He is a regular busker and enjoys entertaining crowds with tunes by Queen, David Bowie, U2, Phil Collins and Ed Sheeran. He released his debut album 'Sensations' on 21st April 2017, and it is now available on iTunes, Amazon Music and online streaming sites - and has had roaring local success! Rich has been writing songs for years but didn't start recording until May 2017. He sings all the vocals and plays all the instruments on his albums.
