Cork busker Allie Signs Record Deal

After a phenomenal performance on the US TV show, she has now signed a major five year/three album record deal with Patriot Records, which is owned by OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder.
Young Allie first hit the headlines when a video of her busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street went viral.
Speaking about the record deal, Allie said she's still pinching herself.
"He (Ryan Tedder) saw my video on Instagram and flew us over to collaborate, which is like song writing and recording," she explained.
"The Ellen Show had contacted us, I think two weeks before that, and we’re just doing some interviews over Skype and my dad told them that we were over in LA if they wanted me on.”
She is over the moon to be working with Ryan.
“Ryan Tedder is like the main singer in the band OneRepublic and a producer and a songwriter. He writes for Ed Sheeran and Adele mostly and then a few others, Sam Mendes, U2, Beyonce and Paul McCartney," she said.
She said it was an amazing experience to be on a stage with Ellen.
“I absolutely love her show and she was just so nice and friendly, and I was really nervous and during the break she was saying me to calm down and she was just so nice about it which made everything much easier,” she said.

Allie says she is now planning a busking tour around Europe.
