Success Story: Hoodie Allen
Tuesday 13th December 2011 | Osh
Made his name independent of a major record label.
Hoodie Allen is the success story that’s proving that you don’t need the support of a major record label to make big things happen. Switching up the way that you get noticed as an artist, Hoodie is building up a fanbase by giving away free downloads and then making bank touring. Hoodie Allen came to people’s attention when he sampled Marina & The Diamonds on ‘You Are Not A Robot’ getting nearly two million YouTube hits on a self financed video. He’s just completed a 15 city tour across America - a perfect example of the modern day success story that if you want things done, better do them yourself!
