Allie Sherlock On The Streets

Make sure you listen to music when you’re walking around in a city. There are so many good musicians and good singers sharing their talent through busking. Though I’ve not yet roamed the streets of Ireland, YouTube offered me a glance at the talent the country holds. I spotted a young musician, Allie Sherlock, who’s definitely one to watch.

Starting Young

Once Allie Sherlock picked up a guitar, just about 5 years ago, she found her passion. Her dad took her around the country busking, singing and playing the guitar. She covers well known songs, but also sings her own.

Strong Voice

With a strong voice and wide variety of songs, Allie stands out, especially for her age. Besides, there’s something really endearing about a normal girl – not yet revamped to the music business image standards – sharing her talent like this. Now, she’s aged 13 (born in 2005) and well on her way to a serious music career.

Gather Around And Give Supermarket Flowers

It’s easy to ignore talent playing the streets, but there are some real hidden gems out there. As much as the buskers need the money given, success on the street can be measured by the same thing as their famous counterparts – The size of the crowd watching. And Allie gathers a crowd – A tell tale sign no. 1 that something special is happening!

That crowd got much bigger online. Once her street performance of Ed Sheeran’s “Supermarket Flowers” went viral, everyone knows about her. Over 8 million people watched and it’s the 3rd most popular video on YouTube of 2018!

Record Deal And Dream Collaboration

Since, most of her videos received a few million views. However, that Ed Sheeran song changed the singers life. Ryan Tedder, One Republic’s lead singer, also saw the video. He signed her for five years and three albums. There’s no doubt that new, original music will follow up her first album – an independent release from 2017 that showed promise, but room for growth vocally.

Ryan is a prolific songwriter and pop producer, who’s created some of the biggest hits for various artists. The deal was announced on Ellen, exactly a year ago, where Allie talked about her viral video.

Back To Where She Started

Allie kept everyone talking about her the whole year of 2018 through. Various press have covered her story, as it unfolds. She’s definitely one of the most famous street musicians of Ireland. Still, despite Allie posting a series of videos of Ryan and her recording together, she’s back at busking since December 2018. Don’t worry, it’s not what it looks like! She’s just returning to her roots for a bit. The next step of her musical development and her career are just a matter of time. Going on her cryptic messages on her Facebook page, we’ll probably hear more of her this year.
