Allie's parents had her playing the piano by 5 years old and would not let her quit under any circumstances, though she tried many times. By 18, Allie moved out and thought she would go on to be a teacher, or maybe a missionary; anything but a musician. It wasn't until 2012 when she came back from her travels abroad and found herself in the college town of Isla Vista, CA with the Isla Vista Worship team that she was reintroduced to her love for music.
