Allen Stone is a soul and R&B singer from Chewelah, Washington, a small town near Spokane. He grew up singing gospel music in his father's church and later fell hard for classic soul artists like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. His music leans on warm, vintage-leaning production and a voice that sits squarely in the tradition of 1960s and 1970s soul.
