He grew up in a poor but
loving family situated in the town of Angeles, Pampanga. At a young and tender age of fourteen, Allan's mom and stepfather
allowed him, with his consent, to be adopted by a kind-hearted American who will then take him to the U.S. to have a promising
future. Leaving his family behind really
hurt him so much.
Allan believes that he
would be better off living in a different country, in order for him to provide his family with all the pleasures that life
has to offer.
During his eight-grade
being a student, he began performing around Los Angeles district as Atban Klann with his friend Will.I.Am way back in 1989.
Allan poured his heart into
singing and dancing for he is good at it. To avoid sadness and viciousness, Mr.
Pineda spent most of his time composing some songs.
He originally composed the
song “Where is the Love,” which is included in their latest album, dedicated to his brother who passed away. Second
to that he wrote “The Apl Song” which was a mix of Tagalog and English, the lyrics were about his step father
and his life while he was still in the Philippines.
His life was never easy.
He experienced so much sadness, longing to be with his family back in the Philippines but despite all these, he survived and
tried moving on…so he did.
Truly, there’s a rainbow
always after the rain. After all that he went through his name is now known in the music industry and his star continuously
shines in Los Angeles California. Their group is widely known as “Black Eyed Peas” and presently popular and enjoying
sharing their talents around the world. |
