ALLEN O'NEAL began his career in gospel music with his Dad, Ed O’Neal, who owns a well-known quartet from Kinston, North Carolina named The Dixie Melody Boys. In the 1980’s, the group was a pure Southern Gospel, four-part harmony quartet. While they were very successful in the business, group members had a desire to make a musical change. They all liked the style of that day’s country music but as Christians did not embrace the lyrics or lifestyle. So with the help of several producers and song writers they created the sound that launched the DMB Band. It was pure country music with a powerful message and positive lyrics. Today, Allen loves traveling and playing music with the guys in Jackson Heights and looks forward to spending his remaining musical career with the band.
