His voca ls and melodic style show the clear influence of classic soul and R&\;B of the 1960s and '70s\, while his lyrics reveal an idealism and passion t hat recall the folk-inspired singer/songwriters of the same era. He grew u p on gospel and Christian music\, and began leading youth worship groups w hen he was only 14. He had little exposure to secular music as a child\, b ut in his teens\, he developed a taste for classic soul\, and started coll ecting vintage R&\;B sides\, as well as golden age singer/songwriters. After graduating from high school\, 18-year-old Stone left Chewelah to att end junior college in Spokane\; a year later\, he transferred to Bible col lege\, but after a single semester he dropped out and relocated to Seattle . He began writing songs\, and soon put together a band with a handful of local musicians. Stone and his group became a regular presence on the West Coast club scene\, and developed a reputation for powerful live shows as they played up to 200 dates a year. In 2010\, Stone recorded an album call ed Last to Speak that he released digitally through his own Stickystones l abel.\n\nA second album\, simply titled Allen Stone\, followed in the fall of 2011\, and quickly became an independent success story. Online sales t ook the album to the top of the online charts\, and it placed on Billboard 's Heatseekers chart\, all without a formal distribution deal. As Stone an d his band played more and bigger shows\, they were invited to appear on C onan\, Jimmy Kimmel Live\, and Last Call with Carson Daly.
