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:
“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 (18171862)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every mans life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (174095)
