Meet Owen
Owen grew up in the picturesque county of Suffolk. His musical journey began through classical singing training while at school, where he was an active member of a variety of choral and ensembles including the National Youth Choir of Great Britain. Keen to pursue music further, Owen then ventured to Auckland, New Zealand, where he honed his craft as a choral scholar at the esteemed Holy Trinity Cathedral. Following this formative experience, Owen pursued higher education at the University of York, where his passion for music continued to flourish.
Over four years at York, Owen achieved first a BA(Hons) in Music followed by a MA in Music (Vocal Studies Pathway). While studying and performing at university, he developed a deep affinity for contemporary music, especially Musical Theatre, which saw him to take on prominent roles in notable productions including RENT!, Made In Dagenham, Dogfight, and Company. In addition to his theatrical pursuits, Owen held prestigious choral scholarships at the York Oratory and Bradford Cathedral, and served as a deputy singer at the renowned York Minster.
Owen is an accomplished and versatile crossover performer, currently holding the coveted position of Tenor 2 in the Grammy award-winning vocal group The Swingles. He marked his Off-West End debut as Alan in Early Mornings Productions’ groundbreaking new musical 'Alan Turing - A Musical Biography' at the Kings Head Theatre (Islington) in February 2023, and has since originated the lead role of Danny in Horizontal Productions' electrifying rock & roll production 'The Bastard Sons of Elvis' premiered at The Bridge Theatre (Penge). Owen frequently engages in choral concerts and solo recitals across London and the East of England, and is available upon request as a performer for weddings, funerals and other functions.
In parallel with his performing endeavours, Owen launched his teaching business. Initially catering to fellow university students, his client base quickly expanded to encompass individuals of all ages and backgrounds across the country. Through his studies, Owen conducted specialised research in vocal health and rehabilitation, allowing him to gain an expert-level understanding of these practices.
Owen now shares his expertise through private singing lessons both online (via Zoom) and in-person at his studio in East London, as well as running community and group workshops on a regular basis. Beyond his private coaching, he has lent his knowledge to several educational institutions including Finborough School, Old Buckenham Hall, Woodbridge School and Planet Music Academy, and frequently engages in educational work as part of his role within The Swingles.
Beyond the realm of music, Owen is an avid climber, board gamer, and squash player.
