Owen grew up in Capel Dewi near Llandysul. His musical identity was formed by various influences including the soothing sounds wandering from his father’s harp workshop, Welsh traditional music, electronic and experimental modern artist and more recently world music through his work in the studios of Realworld and the label Astar. His compositions have appeared across various media outlets including the BBC and CBS. Recently he has returned to his roots through the projects ‘Gadael Tir’ (leaving the land) and ‘Cynefin’ (habitat) that draws upon Welsh history and folk music.
