Life and career
Allen Ritter discovered his talents at an early age, playing the piano at the local church. Allen began to take music seriously at the age of 16. He was introduced to the production program FL Studio, which now is a well known application for music production. Allen began writing and producing his own music which lead to a network of connections including Anderson Hernandez, professionally known as Vinylz, via Myspace. Vinylz quickly became a fan of his music and decided to collaborate with Allen Ritter.
While working with Vinylz, Allen’s network grew as he found common interest with Boi-1da, a well-known producer for artists such as Drake, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and along with others. In 2013, Boi-1da, Allen Ritter, and Vinylz together produced Drake's "5 AM In Toronto", "The Language", and DJ Khaled's "No New Friends.".[8] Allen Ritter and Vinylz continued to collaborate throughout 2014 which lead to records such as Nicki Minaj feat.
