Jimmie Talks His Inspiration, New Music And Children’s Book With Nick Cannon
As if the history making musician isn’t busy enough, he is also promoting a new book and stopped by The Masked Singer host Nick Cannon’s daytime talk show to discuss his landmark year. Allen mentioned his humble roots growing up in Milton Delaware with his “redneck” Father. During the sit down, the singer discussed how much his father played a role in his life.
“He just taught me to be me,” he says about his Father, who is deceased. “We lived by four things. Work hard, love yourself, so you can love somebody else and don’t quit,” Allen explained.
Cannon, who made sure that Allen knew that he is a “trailblazer” in the industry, was impressed with how family oriented he was. Allen also teased new music with legends such as Elton John, Nelly, and Tim Mcgraw. Allen promoted his new book My Voice is a Trumpet. The father of three says he wanted to create the book to teach young kids how to utilize their voices.
The lessons that his father taught him is paying off. Allen proves that there is power in not giving up on your dreams. Between music, books, and family, Allen proves that you can still shoot into superstardom after losing a talent show competition.
