Three #1 Billboard Hits: How Nia Allen Built It Her Way

Nia Allen went #1 on the Billboard Gospel chart three times — and she built it her own way, as an independent artist. In this episode of Make Belief, she shows how purpose and devotion beat the algorithm every time.Dr. Nia Allen is a three-time #1 Billboard Gospel artist, worship leader, songwriter, author, and speaker — and a close friend of mine for years. She came up leading worship (including for CeCe Winans) long before the charts knew her name. In this conversation we get into how she built a movement song by song, how she topped the chart three times as an independent artist, and how she’s done it all without ever leaving the altar.This one’s for every dreamer who feels overlooked and is wondering if the work will ever break. It will. That’s Make Belief — you don’t dream your way there, you build your way there.──────────────────────FOLLOW NIA ALLEN:Instagram: [@niaallenmusic] FOLLOW MAKE BELIEF:Instagram: @makebeliefpodcastCalvin: @calvinnowellMake Belief is where dreamers become doers.
