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:
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
“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)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
