One Story. One Calling.
What began as a friendship writing songs in Nashville has grown into a shared calling—to point people to Jesus through worship and recovery ministry. Now based in Southwest Florida, Allen & Kelly lead worship, serve in recovery communities, and are currently writing and recording a worship album set for release in the coming year. With over a decade of personal recovery and a deep faith in Christ, their story fuels both their music and their mission.

Where It Began
Allen & Kelly met in 2011 through the writers’ rounds of Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee. Allen, originally a drummer turned songwriter, moved to Nashville in 2010 and went on to co-write a Telly Award–winning song and co-found Neon Publishing. Kelly, a piano-based songwriter, had already begun recording and touring, later working in the music industry with Sony/ATV. What began as a musical connection would become the foundation of everything they now do together.
