“CW Allen is an exemplary human being. His real life experiences combined with his gospel centered world view makes truth so much more accessible. He is vital, and necessary catalyst for change.”
-Erinn Knight
President of Build You Own Dreams
CW Allen was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up listening to Hip Hop music and fell in love with its heart-pounding drums and bass lines. His rap journey began in high school, where he would frequent open mics and freestyle with friends. After receiving positive feedback from his performances CW began penning lyrics and taking his music to the next level.
In 2009 CW left Cleveland and moved to Chicago to attend college where he studied communications and the Bible. Now, years into his creative journey CW has released his first book entitled CATALYST and has traveled all over the country. His performances and speaking have been heard in bars, schools, camps, and conferences opening for such as Cannon, Sean C. Johnson, Shopé, This’l, and the Legendary Curtis Blow.
He is the type of man, leader, and artist that awakens a renewed faith in Christ. CW is just as smooth with the pen as he is behind the mic.
