UK Male Country Singer of the Year 2024
“I was looking for someone to play piano/organ on my new album and Owain came recommended by my producer Martin Levan. He turned out to be an invaluable member of the team. Not only is he an excellent musician, instinctively knowing the right things to play and when, he was also integral in organising musical arrangements. He's also a really positive, inspiring person to have in the studio. I've since played live with Owain and all this translates onto the stage. A truly talented young man."
MACY - Welsh Pop Artist
"“Owain is absolutely phenomenal. I've had the pleasure of having him in my band for over four years, and it has been a fantastic experience from day one. He has an incredible ability to pick up and perform virtually any style of music with confidence, skill, and authenticity. Beyond his musical talent, Owain is reliable, professional, and a genuine pleasure to work with. His versatility and dedication consistently elevate every performance, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.""
