The Allan Stage Interview: Inspirations, style, and what makes him melt.

In my line of work, I have been fortunate enough to meet many talented people that radiate beauty from the courage to express a part of their souls. This includes, my good friend, Allan Stage. For those of you who are not familiar with his name, he is an up-and-coming singer/musician from Denmark who
is definitely making waves despite the fact that he is an independent artist.

While music is such an individual thing, you will find that his eclectic pop style exemplifies a fusion of
European pop well.

I am especially amazed that Allan manages to remain down-to-earth and keeps his great sense of humor, as I am sure you will discover for yourself. His support for independent artists is also to be commended as being an independent store owner, I can certainly relate. I'm proud to consider him a friend. Enjoy!
