Allen Tate (born June 9, 1989) is an American vocalist, record producer, and songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York. Since 2012, he has been a singer of San Fermin, the indie-rock band led by composer Ellis Ludwig-Leone. As a producer, he has collaborated with artists including San Fermin, Wild Pink, The Districts, Daisy the Great, and Hypoluxo among others. In 2020, he and Ludwig-Leone co-founded their label Better Company Records, a joint venture with The Orchard.

Biography Early life Tate attended school at the Germantown Academy, a non-sectarian college prep school located in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. Tate attended New York University where he studied philosophy, and planned to pursue a law career.

San Fermin At age 15, Tate attended the Berklee College of Music summer program during high school, where he would meet collaborator Ellis Ludwig-Leone.

Tate and Ludwig-Leone came together to create San Fermin's self-titled debut album, with Tate serving as the lead vocalist. San Fermin arrived on September 17, 2013, with many reviews complimenting Tate's baritone-voice. Tate has since contributed to the band's follow-up projects including Jackrabbit (2014), Belong (2017), Live at the Fillmore (2019) and The Cormorant I & II (2020).

Solo career

In the fall of 2014, during a 3-week stay in Copenhagen, Tate began working on his first solo project.

For the recording of the project, Tate recruited Ludwig-Leone and other San Fermin bandmates Michael Hanf (drums) and Tyler McDiarmid (guitar) in order to work during breaks in the San Fermin tour schedule.
