Alan Powell Music
Alan Powell Anthem Lights
Powell is the founding member of the pop group Anthem Lights. Alan and the band continued to evolve and grew their fan base. They signed with Reunion Records, changed the band’s name to Anthem Lights, toured across the country, and recorded two studio albums: Anthem Lights and You Have My Heart IN 2010.
Both albums showcased his skillful songwriting. The band parted ways with Reunion Records to create their own record label named YC Records as a throwback to the band’s “Yellow Cavalier” origins in 2012. They then brought on new band member Joey Stamper to replace Kyle, who amicably left the group to then pursue a solo career in music.
Powell focused on writing and producing quality music and also creating music videos with entertaining and engaging content. Alan honed in on the band’s inherent skill at creating an upbeat, pop music sound, and then continued to steer Anthem Lights and its music toward the mainstream pop genre.
Anthem Lights is now taking the pop music scene by storm.
