[@macijacobs5964]

Allan has been one of my favorite musicians for several years now. He continues to make me fall in love with him, his music and his stories. I wish all the best for him and his team with the release of Christian ❤️

[@courtneymateri248]

This interview was wholeheartedly and undeniably refreshing, honest, genuine, organic, down to earth, and incredibly relatable, to which I am filled with gratitude to have the honour of watching an interview with Allan Rayman, as I have been a fan of everything he continues to create since the very beginning!

[@victoriasteele4483]

That mindset, genuine authenticity and that paradox of a mind- everything.

[@DanSearl]

One of the most authentic artists in the Game rn

[@marvinpelt6700]

Bruh I've never been so happy to see an interview. I've been listening to this guy when his songs had 5k veiws. I've always wanted to know more about him and his form of art in his music. Thank you so much for doing this interview man. Come out the Florida

[@joyces1365]

I LOVED the narrative aspect to his first two albums. Allan's been one of my favorites for years now

[@lamingtonw]

Can't believe he's a normal guy omg, he was sooo mysterious before I watched this. He still is tbh

[@shelbywurzer8404]

Breads obsession is 100% correct my friend literally been going crazy since like 2016 when I first discovered Allan trying to figure out what all his songs means and all these hidden messages and what not amazing not like anyone else.

[@sagitteaius]

Elusive Allan out of hiding.😝 Glad to know what the 512 on my crewneck stands for now.

[@christinem4985]

I love Allan so much

[@monicalaux8153]

So real and humbly intelligent.

[@angelaryanditlow5638]

Love and respect his privacy...especially in the industry he’s in! ♥️

[@charityyoung5954]

Any depiction of you that we're privvy to is meaningful

[@meganriley8357]

The realest. Out there crushing it, carrying himself like a boss! And that face ain’t too bad to look at either. Can’t wait to see him in Philly!!

[@rachelsnabes8997]

So much respect for the way he works.

[@MisselleB303]

Damn ❤ you are something special

[@SpaceBabe12]

Ahh that's genuinely so refreshing.

[@shanejohnston1253]

The dudeee.

[@bycarolbarber]

They wanna know more 💯

[@DminicanStyle21]

how old is he?

[@nathaliegrammer6209]

He may not have been "the cool kid". But he has become the man who's gonna steal your girl.

[@allisonmacrae381]

He is hands down the hottest man on earth!!!

[@nathaliegrammer6209]

haha.. one of them maybe.. I wonder how tall he is.

[@claymills5734]

WTF! I wasn't expecting to find this! HUGE fan! Haven't even watched yet but too excited I had to comment!!

[@bycarolbarber]

This is my sticker book!

[@jaytee33]

10:37 real talk

[@demofabatarfi5337]

👌🏼👌🏼

[@getmypastamasta8670]

Trying to hard just idk you get old faster and it’s obvious that you aren’t you

[@masonscott-hogfoss942]

His gimmick is full of college students who study film and music and he is the vocal yet good but fake story telling

[@masonscott-hogfoss942]

He’s literally a whistleblower for all bands that are in the cult like spotlight

[@masonscott-hogfoss942]

His music is good nonetheless

[@masonscott-hogfoss942]

Product of self destructive grunge era

[@wyatt2738]

Mason Scott-Hogfoss how do u know

[@getmypastamasta8670]

? Elaborate on that

[@jenni4997]

I love this guy! So sexy, smart, talented and down to earth 😍

[@Callmeemmie95]

Seeing him live is just out of this world. Powerful voice and he's incredible 🖤

[@NoSaIvation]

Man. Starting my construction job tomorrow haha. I always love making music but I am worried that turning it into a job will add a level of pressure and make music not fun anymore. I relate to Allan through his music, after this interview its cool knowing he went through a similar situation.

[@sarpersar8010]

i think allan rayman is so underrated.

[@h.vander6640]

He almost never gives interviews so as an avid listener of his music, this is a real treat.

[@ВероникаТайсумова]

Oh my God, his voice is amazing 🤪

[@breeatroxell2242]

This man is a fucking genius 💜

[@JamzYamz7]

He’s soooo handsome 🥺

[@treyjansing6581]

Most solid artist I’ve ever heard. Hope he makes music for many years. Hope to see live one day.

[@cinnamanstera6388]

Well, good to know that some absolute classic tunes are backed by a class act.

[@musicisbrilliant]

This channel and this interviewer is something so special and rare these days. People who really see the worth and importance of music in society and culture. Hope you guys keep at it forever.

[@cashinondt8431]

👍👍👍👍😎

[@ChAn-dv9to]

I hope to god his show in Muskoka isn't cancelled!

[@bycarolbarber]

🔥🔥🔥

[@OfficialDeathway]

I feel like I “got it” but my problem is having time outside of work to work on my music/videos. I’ve been steady at the same subscribers for almost 10 years now and I feel it’s because I haven’t been able to be consistent because of work. I believe one day it’ll catch on but it feels unrealistic until I can fully focus on my stuff but of coarse it’s too much of a risk to drop everything and hope for the best so it’s a very very long and torturous process for me.

[@dezzyjarred62]

I’d love to see you in concert. You’re an amazing artist!

[@WiktorSh]

Wellocme Russia!

[@mixabyss7744]

So mysterious

[@bycarolbarber]

Haha

[@digow14]

[@TheNicki333]

[@masonscott-hogfoss942]
