Biography
Quinn grew up in Orem, Utah. Unlike frontman Bert McCracken, he was not raised in a Mormon family. Quinn has two brothers (Ian and Riley), and a sister (Rondee).
At a young age, Quinn started playing in bands. His first band was a band called “Hey Santos!”. He then became a member of The Used. Allman is influenced by bands such as Face to Face, Goldfinger, Thursday, Kenna, Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, and The New Transit Direction. He is a former vegetarian, but he supports PETA. He has made a video on the PETA website promoting vegetarian diet and is against eating meat because of the cruel conditions of the animals. In an interview with CraveOnline, Allman has stated that he thinks animal cruelty sucks, but he eats meat because he's already too overwhelmed with his own problems to worry about something that won't ever change, but he does enjoy soy meat and milk and substitute it regularly. Singer Bert McCracken of The Used describes him as a “truly spiritual and warm” individual.
Quinn has stated before that he enjoys being a musician and if he weren't in The Used, he would still be making music.
Allman will appear in the film, "Writer's Cramp" with his wife, Megan Joy.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
