Allie had initially received an invite to perform on The Ellen Show following this performance but turned it down.
Speaking at the time her father said: ‘She had the Ellen Show in America contact her, but she’s only 12 and she just enjoys a bit of busking.
‘My main thing is that Allie continues to be Allie, because she’s a child. She enjoys her singing and as soon as it isn’t fun anymore, that would be the end of it. ‘
But it seems that the teen is set to hit the big time having revealed on her Instagram account that she has been working with top American music producers.
She has been working alongside Ryan Tedder from One Republic and Charlie Puth during her time in LA.
Following her performance on The Ellen Show, Tedder tweeted: ‘I am UNBELIEVABLY proud of this girl… @alliesherlock just performed on @TheEllenShow and SLAYED!!!!’
