After just 5 minutes with Allen Brown you’ll realize, he is 100% talent + 300% nice guy. Like the rest of our staff, Allen comes to On Hold Marketing because of his diversified talents and wealth of creative experience. He trained at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, and after enjoying a successful career as a touring musician, he’s spent time in a telecommunications environment giving support to customers nationwide.

In continuing his musical endeavors, Allen arranges and performs before thousands every year as vocalist, pianist, and trumpet player for KOS, a well-known 11-piece performing group in Virginia. He has also created several production pieces for Theatre IV of Virginia (now Virginia Repertory Theatre) and is often cast in leading dramatic roles in the outstanding productions presented at Richmond’s West End Assembly of God.
