About
Mark Allen
Nashville singer-songwriter Mark Allen has been called an alchemist for his ability to transform story into song, and songs into anthems. A natural storyteller and lifelong traveler, Mark’s career as a performer, writer, composer, producer and engineer sets him apart, whether in the pubs of the UK or onstage at the Grand Ole Opry.
Mark distills the complexities of existence into music, the common currency of humanity. His ability to connect with strangers and bond over the shared love of song is unparalleled, making him one of the longest-running headliners of the Gaylord Opryland Resort entertaining international audiences —and hundreds of thousands of people— since 2006.
Brought to Nashville in 1998 to manage the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), Mark scored films and released the critically acclaimed “American in the 21st Century” album while a writer/artist at CAL IV Entertainment. He has produced and engineered music of every genre, including Americana, Hip Hop, Celtic, R&B, Jazz, Rock and Country. Now based in the artistic enclave of East Nashville, his production company specializes in sound recording, mixing and audio production of instrumental, vocal and spoken word performances.
Benchmark Productions
