Allen Ling
Owner
Executive producer, singer and songwriter Allen Ling is an American born artist and entrepreneur. He is also the seventh generation descendent of Lin Zexu, a historical hero in China, the CEO of a physical therapy business, and a graphic novel creator and publisher. He has been a songwriter since 8th grade, and a body of music compositions from 1984 to 1988 was exhumed in 2009 after encouragement from his friend Bryan “Brain” Mantia, one of the premier drummers in contemporary music.
We happily will present over two dozen original songs after hundreds of hours of work by the production & performance team of Allen, Brain (drums, production), and Melissa Reese (Lead and background vocals, production and keyboards). Allen also executive produced the first album for “The Runaway Hearts”, a duo of young talent Marcellus Love and Emilio Virgo.
Sound engineers include Five-time Grammy nominated producer Cookie Marenco, Caram Costanzo (GunsNRoses “Chinese Democracy” album), Reto Peters (multiple Green Day’s records), and Oscar Olivo, DJ and EDM engineer.
It was a decades long journey that continues, as writing songs regularly has become part of Allen’s lifestyle now. Enjoy listening!
