Hailing from the greater Philadelphia suburbs, Owen was immersed around the musical and social influencers he found from in rocker dad and soulful ma. Exposed to Rock, Folk, Funk, Blues, Motown, Soul, Jazz, Punk, Mummers Parades, parties, bonfires, and kitchen tables, Owen’s continued to evolve his world with the music that surrounded his daily life. Starting with classical guitar study in his teens laid the groundwork for understanding composition and quickly morphed into utilizing software like Cool Edit Pro, MTV Music Generator, Sony Acid Pro, Fruity Loops, Reason, and Ableton Live.

With a car packed with wires, and computer gear, and a gifted Pioneer SB-2, Owen wandered the coast looking for meaning, landing in Charlottesville. He worked diligently, establishing new roots and immediately found a friend in hosts of The Weekend Dance Party, a local FM show, Andy Richardson & Ben Lynch. A month later he would spin his first live radio set, and weeks later, his first DJ gig out.
