    PERRIS, CA, November 01, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- John E. Allen, DDS, has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Allen, a distinguished historian and musician, has made significant contributions to the fields of music publishing and historical research. As the owner, historian and musician at Digital Futures Music Publishing since 1990, he oversees operations, writes new songs and promotes his book. His work delves into the rich history of jazz and the African American experience, particularly through his publication "Content of Their Character: The Story Behind This Antique Quilt and the History of the African American Family That Made It," released by Trafford Publishing in 2009.

In addition to his role at Digital Futures Music Publishing, Dr. Allen has served as the secretary and treasurer of the Samuel C. Allen Scholarship Foundation since 2000. This foundation honors his father's legacy and supports educational opportunities for students. His dedication to preserving history is evident in his efforts to bring attention to an antique quilt linked to the Underground Railroad, which he inherited from his grandmother. Despite initial rejections from prominent museums, he remains dedicated in making this artifact available for public display.

Before fully committing himself to the music industry, Dr. Allen ran his own dental practice. For over 30 years, he practiced dentistry, managing employees and maintaining a successful practice. His ability to interact with people, a skill he attributes to his parents' influence, played a crucial role in his professional success.

Laying the groundwork for Dr. Allen's career in dentistry was his educational background. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1974, followed by a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of California, San Francisco, which he obtained in 1978. Throughout his career, he has been an active member of several industry-related organizations, including the National Dental Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, reflecting his devotion to both science and community service.

Dr. Allen's passion for music began in high school, where he served as a rally commissioner and composed music for various events. Although he initially pursued a career in dentistry, he continued to develop his musical talents over the years. In recent years, he has been performing jazz at local community colleges, promoting jazz education and raising awareness about this important musical genre.

Looking ahead, Dr. Allen is dedicated to conducting research on black servicemen in World War II. His future goals include raising public awareness about the American legacy associated with the quilt and enhancing STEM education for students. His enthusiasm for historical research, music and education continues to inspire those around him as he works tirelessly to preserve and promote important aspects of American history and culture.
