Allan Wiltshire, II is from the Washington D.C. area and has been a southern transplant for more than 20 years. As a young man, Allan’s exposure to music came from his father and home church environment. He learned to play the piano, cornet and electric/bass guitars. 

Allan attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he studied with arranger Andy Jaffee and Jazz Trumpeter Mike Methany. Allan returned to Washington DC to attend Howard University and to study with Fred Irby, principal trumpet with the Kennedy Center Pit Orchestra. As a member of the Howard University Jazz Ensemble Allan was honored to participate in an international tour of The Caribbean, Centra and South America.  Allan holds a degree in Trumpet from the University of Maryland in College Park. 

It was on the marching band field at Maryland where Allan met Sherry and the solo became a duet. Allan and Sherry has been married for over 30 years and make their home near Atlanta. The Wiltshires have three young adult children and five grandchildren.

Upon arriving in Atlanta in the early 1990’s Allan began to play piano and trumpet around the city with small and large groups. While serving as worship director with various churches, Allan was able to maintain a professional presence in the Atlanta music scene as a vocalist and instrumentalist.

For nearly a decade, Allan has turned his focus to the import and export of international music through his organization, The Mission Minded Artist.  Allan has performed and toured with groups (Gospel and Contemporary Christian genre) in Poland, Egypt, South Africa, Panama, Italy and Kenya and more.

In 2012, Allan was recruited as a cast member of the National touring tribute group, The Rat Pack Now.  Using the classic swings sounds of the 1960’s under the guise of Sammy Davis, Jr., Allan has embarked on a journey of bringing happiness and joy to thousands as the Titans of Swing take the stage and do their thing. 

In 2019, the Standards and Classics musical reviews were written and performed across the Atlanta market.  These 60’s style variety shows, with arrangements by Allan, feature his baritone vocal stylings.

Whether in the US or abroad, through sacred or secular genres, as a vocalist, instrumentalist or arranger, Allan Wiltshire has demonstrated excellence, versatility and passion throughout his tenure as an artist.
