Owen began his musical career with the Pontypool Brass Band at the age of six. Owen's growing talent was recognised in 1995 when he became the British Open Junior Solo Champion and was appointed Solo Horn for the Tredegar Town Band at the tender age of sixteen.

Whilst at the Royal Northern College of Music he joined the famous Williams Fairey Band and was voted "Player of the Year" by his fellow players at the band. He enjoyed many successful solo performances with the band and was also a key member in their two National Finals victories.

In 2002 Owen graduated from the Royal Northern where his talent was recognised by his immediate appointment to the department as Tenor Horn Teacher. He also accepted a teaching post at Liverpool University. On top of his busy teaching schedule, Owen performs with the famous Corey band as well as solo performances.
