Biography:
There is grit in the voice of Allyson Galloway . It’s a grit that seems to
indicate that the wife and mother of Two has seen far too much in her life
thus far, a grit that seems to stem from a pain that remains in her tender heart,
a grit that finds its way into every note she sings and every lyric she
writes. It’s also her grit that makes her beautiful.
Born on the wrong side of Memphis, Galloway was the 1st child of a
woman addicted to drugs and a father that was never around.
When he was, he held in his hand a Dasani water bottle to replace the
beer that he was, used too. Technically, she was to attend the Catholic
school situated just under a half of a mile from her home. But each day,
she would instead find herself curled up on the floor of the walk-in closet
she called her bedroom. “It was a mess, all of it.”
When she was seven years old, Galloway’s grandparents took her in.
Soon, Galloway was attending school and making friends, but just as her
young self-began to feel as if she was finally turning the corner, the speaker
located in her classroom said she needed to come down to the office.
It was there that the then nine-year-old found out her father was dead. She
didn’t cry at the news, because her grandparents were all she had known.
She didn’t cry when she was forced to tell her mom after school.
“I watched her act like her whole world had crumbled, but never once did she ask if I
was okay.”
How could she take care of these kids when she was barely taking care of me? With 2 siblings to consider. She was not prepared at such a young age. Through the years, arguments grew, and she was overwhelmed with responsibility. She was once again failing school due to absences and so were her sisters. She got her first boyfriend at the age of 15, and for the first time, Galloway felt as if she had found someone who could protect her from the craziness. But he too came from chaos in his own home but soon they parted ways too. Galloway found herself in the arms of the man who would ultimately be her husband today. They fell in love within weeks of meeting and became best friends. They became increasingly close in the next few months and before they knew it, they were expecting a baby boy. “He was born into the storm, but he became the rainbow.”
Allyson’s Mom was on food stamps, with the first of the month spent gorging on food and at the end of the month scraping ice out of the freezer. Galloway knew she could not raise her child in that environment. She immediately moved in with her now husband, after the child was born. Galloway graduated from high school at the age of 17 just a few short months after her son was born. Galloway got a job waiting tables at a local restaurant, but her twenties were her years to rebel following a far too cruel life. She then went to college for nursing and science, but her little girl was on the way, and she could not wait. She dropped out with a few classes to go unfortunately. She was lost on what to do next, so she was a stay-at-home mom for a couple of years before continuing her career at AT&T. She spent 4 years on Customer service and sales before she decided to do music full-time.
“I tried TikTok because it was fun, who knew it would Explode like this.”
She lived her life for strangers to see, and the strangers became friends who
seemed to care for her in a way that family did not. One morning, with
her hair uncombed and her home a shambles, Galloway began to sing the
Jelly Roll hit “Save Me,” live and her following exploded. They loved her voice. She ended up
meeting Jelly Roll in a random Urban Outfitters in Knoxville and she then was inspired beyond what
she had ever imagined.
“I went to a Jelly Roll concert, and there were 20,000 people there. But I had 90,000
followers on TikTok. That’s when I knew I had to do something more.”
That something more is music, as Galloway now finds herself on a budding
Country music career driven by a tragic life but with an honest heart.
Music serves as her therapy, and therapy for her TikTok following that find themselves
comforted daily by a girl from Tennessee who has decided to put her
dreams first, ahead of the pain that remains. She now serves as a
motivation for all those who have been hurt or abused or treated as less
then.
“Once I decided to do music, everything else fell into place.”
