Dre Allen is an American Actor singer-songwriter, music video director, film producer, author, and record producer. Born April 18, 1975 in Californias bay area, Dre Allen is also the founding member of Los Angeles based 1990s pop and R & B group IV Xample whose debut album For Example sold over 500,000 copies worldwide due to the success of their debut single I'd Rather Be Alone.
Allen's debut solo album was released on his independent record label Movemakers Entertainment. The album was called L.Y.F.E. and sold over 24,000 copies through online and non traditional retail outlets. His second album was called Ghetto Rockstar.

His third and final album Recovery from his band "The Dre Allen Project" was released in the summer of 2010 and featured production from himself, Food Mart Music, Organized Noize, & Jefferey David. The independent album sold modestly (10,000 units) in a declining music industry sales climate dominated by major releases.
