Owen is the stage moniker of Michael Kinsella, an American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his mellow, introspective acoustic tunes that often meld heartfelt lyrics with intricate guitar work. Having started his career in several bands, including the influential emo groups Cap'n Jazz and American Football, Owen's solo project allowed Mike to explore a more personal and delicate side of his songwriting. Launched in the early 2000s, Owen became a vessel for Kinsella's more intimate compositions, with music that frequently straddles the lines between the confessional singer-songwriter tradition and the sonic experimentation of post-rock.

Over the years, Owen has become a staple within the indie folk scene, amassing a dedicated following through his reflective storytelling and deft musicianship. Throughout his extensive discography, Owen has constantly evolved, weaving complex emotional landscapes with each subsequent release. His more recent works, like "BLIND," "DIRTY," and "Love N Affection," showcase his ability to adapt and experiment while retaining the core sincerity that has always been the hallmark of his music. Kinsella’s unflinching honesty and deep musicality ensure that Owen remains a notable and respected figure in the realm of contemporary indie music.
