Michael Allen – Banjo and Music Creator

October 23, 2016 by To Live For

As a young child, Michael Allen loved to play and create with wood, an activity that often provided his joy and connection to his heart. Another passion Michael has enjoyed his entire life is music, playing different instruments and hanging in the music community.

A few years ago, Michael felt the calling to learn how to play the banjo, but he did not have a banjo. In researching the type of banjo he felt he needed, Michael realized it would cost too much money to buy one at that point in his life.

Never one to to give up, Michael realized he could make a banjo! Now he is crafting beautiful banjos for other people, fixing instruments for people, and he is writing and playing his own music.

This is Michael’s inspiring story. He is sharing a beautiful and soulful vibe that is making a difference to his family and community, and his creative energy is going a long way to bring healing and peace to everyone around him.

For more information about Michael, the best way to contact him is by email ( allen.ellis.m@gmail.com) or through his Instagram account (click here). Thank you, Michael, for sharing your passion, your gifts, your joy, your song, and your heart!
