Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio CW Allen grew up a child of Hip Hop culture. It wasn’t long after that he fell in love with the heart pounding drums and bass lines of its music, and eventually he began his own musical journey as an artist penning lyrics. “By that time, I had already fell deeply in love with God and His word, so my music was just an expression of my heart and surroundings.” In 2009, CW left his hometown and moved to Chicago to attend college, where he studied communications and the Bible. Now in year 15 of his creative career, CW has released his first book, Catalyst, and his latest EP, Lion. CW Allen has shared his music of hope all over the country in bars, schools, camps, and conferences opening for such as Cannon, Da Truth, Sean C. Johnson, Shopé, This’l, and the Legendary Curtis Blow.
CW Allen has performed in Sofar Chicago and Sofar Cleveland.
