Transforming Life’s Challenges into Rhythmic Positivity
Hi, I’m Allison2020—singer-songwriter and creative optimist.
My journey with music is deeply connected to my father, Doug Midgley, a talented singer-songwriter whose life was cut short by cancer when I was just 10. His music became my compass through life’s toughest moments—loss, love, illness, and healing. I made it my mission to preserve and share his legacy, freeing his songs from old cassette tapes and bringing them to streaming platforms, where they now offer warmth, wisdom, and hope to others.
In 2020, I faced a new challenge—leukemia, or what I call my “cancer curriculum.” It was through this experience that I coined the term Creative Optimism—the practice of transforming life’s blues into rhythmic positivity through music and expression. I discovered that music is not only a healing force but also a way to live fully, embracing the NOW and making the most of each moment.
Today, my music reflects this journey, offering listeners a space to feel, heal, and live their dreams right here in the present. I’m here to share my passion for music, inviting you to connect with the energy that drives us all to live boldly and creatively.
