Most successful writers and artists have influenced me in some way or another and there's no way to list them all.
I was privileged to intern at ASCAP for an entire year while at Belmont and met some amazing writers as well as taking my writing and to a whole new level. Though my focus is Country Music, I've been asked to write specific Pop and Christian tunes as well... Keep the tv on!

From Down Home Country to Soulful Gospel, Kaci's southern roots and modern urban runs have cultivated a style that is all her own.
While she is extremely versatile, in truth, Kaci really always sounds like... Kaci! Which is why audiences of all demographics find a groove with her.

Kaci Allen... bio:
From front porches, to front stage, Kaci loves to entertain!
Appealing to all ages a reporter from the Gwinnett County Post in Atlanta said recently, she is just right at home on stage; A natural entertainer!
A Songwriter first, you will find her creative talents vary over a wide range of genres including Country, Christian, Pop and even some rock!
Born in Conway, SC a small town just outside of Myrtle Beach, Kaci Allen sang her first solo, in church, at age three. “I can't remember a time when I wasn't singing. It was just a part of life like learning to tie my shoes."
Before she ever learned to write, Kaci spawned an early form of songwriting by singing into a tape recorder, making up songs about missing her parents, who traveled a good bit with their video production companies, and wondering what surprise they were going to bring her.
Singing and writing music wasn't Kaci's only passion. A natural athlete, she competed at some point in virtually every sport imaginable.
After entertaining the idea of playing for top athletic programs including UCLA, Wake Forest and USC, Kaci accepted an Academic and Softball scholarship to Belmont University in Nashville, TN. “Going to Belmont was probably one of the best decisions of my life!"
While maintaining a vigorous softball schedule, being the Chaplain and eventually Sisterhood Chair of Phi Mu, singing in a seasoned tour choir, Chadasha, and winning her division title of TN State Women's Single's for Racquetball, Kaci still managed to write, perform, record, and intern at ASCAP for two semesters. “Interning at ASCAP was one of my biggest blessings in College. So many of the staff members, Chad, John, Mike Doyle, Ms. Pat, Dan, Ralph Murphy, Mark D., and Connie Bradley were all so supportive of me while I was there. I can't just name ONE - b/c they were ALL fantastic!! They would invite me into their offices to listen to music and tell me their personal thoughts about new original pieces. It was an experience that money cannot buy.” It wasn't long before Kaci was critiquing songs for writers and helping with the workshop developments.
After graduating from Belmont with a degree in Music Business and Marketing, Kaci started Catch 23 Music to organize and promote her writing, co-writing and schedule as a session singer as well as live performances and built her first home. Catch 23 now also has a nationally recognized Marketing branch working with a range from fortune 500 companies, motivational speakers, law firms/ attorneys, best selling authors, artists, songwriters and MORE!
Kaci is currently in the final stages of completing her first book, and still holds a heavy demo/ writing schedule. Though sher performs all over the country, you can frequently catch her out at venues such as the Bluebird, French Quarter, Dan McGuinness and the new songwriters corner at Martin's BBQ Joint!
Not only a regular at these amazing music venues, Kaci has been blessed to engage a growing number of groups that are requesting her as a key note speaker and that she also share some of her most captivating tunes such as WE ALL FALL and STARTING NOW.
It doesn't matter where Kaci is playing, or who her audience is, they connect with her. She loves meetings new writers, musicians and folks who'll just come out and listen!

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
