In this episode of Make Belief, she shows how purpose and devotion beat the algorithm every time.\n\nDr. 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\n──────────────────────\n\nFOLLOW NIA ALLEN:\n\nInstagram: [@niaallenmusic] \n\nFOLLOW MAKE BELIEF:\n\nInstagram: @makebeliefpodcast\n\nCalvin: @calvinnowell\n\nMake Belief is where dreamers become doers.
