The American baritone and music teacher, Robert (Robbie) Allen, began to study law but after attending Roger Williams University's Law School for one semester, he rediscovered his love for music as well as his desire to help those when they need help the most. Since he left law school in 2023, he has furthered his freelancing as a singer and has started a career in EMS that he intends on growing alongside his work in music as he hopes to make a difference in both a medical sense as well as an artist. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Magna Cum Laude from Wheaton College Massachusetts, studying under Joanne Mouradjian, majoring in Music and double minoring in German and History (August 2018-May 2022); and his Master of Music degree in Voice Studies from Longy School of Music of Bard College (Since August 2023; expected graduation: May 2026), studying under baritone David Small.
