Have you heard of Allie Sherlock? She is a musician, born and raised in Ireland. Born on April 7th, 2005, Allie started as a street performer where she sang and played guitar. In 2017 a video of her singing Ed Sheeran’s “Supermarket Flowers” went viral, and she subsequently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show the following year. While you may be familiar with Allie, you may not be familiar with her father, Mark Sherlock.
Who Is Mark Sherlock?
Mark Sherlock is not only the supportive father to Allie, he is also her manager. As his Instagram bio states, ‘he is the manager of the best singer in the world.’ aww. Allie’s mom passed away when she was just nine years old, leaving her and Mark on their own. Using music to cope with the tragedy, Allie began street performing on Grafton Street in Dublin at just 11 years old.
In 2014 Allie created her YouTube channel, where Mark films and uploads her videos. Ever the protective father, Mark is always around and at times “on guard when people are inappropriate.” Currently, as of October 2024, Allie’s YouTube channel has 6.2 million subscribers, with nearly 2,000 videos.
While music fed Allie’s soul and creativity, it also drew the attention of school bullies. In 2016 Mark decided to pull Allie from school, as a result of relentless bullying. She then began homeschooling, and focused more energy on her creative outlets. Not letting bullies and envy of others get her down, in August 2017 Allie Sherlock performed at the Miss Universe Ireland pageant. She has also performed at the Cork Opera House, the Olympia Theatre, and the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall.
In 2022 she started writing and recording songs with Steve Garrigan, guitarist for Kodaline. That same year Allie performed at the AO Arena for the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II. To celebrate her 18th birthday in 2023, Allie released her album, Allie. Not only does Allie Sherlock have incredible musical talent and ambition, she also has the support of her father, Mark Sherlock. I look forward to hearing more of Allie in the future, and I’m sure Mark will be right there by her side supporting, protecting, and all around being a great dad.
