They say that musical talent is a gift from God, but Erin Owens, in
declaration, has shown that it can also be a gift "to" him. Erin has spent most all her years of her young life giving a musical testimony to God and the many blessings He has bestowed upon her.
Until you’ve witnessed, its hard to imagine the passion she captures in a song. At a devoted, yet youthful age, Erin has already created her own vocal flavor, and tuned a style that can posses a song, making it her own.
...{Erin} was born into a musical family. Her mother plays piano and her father lead music in churches. There were also two sisters to keep her on her toes.
At the tender age of two, Erin started picking favorite melodies out on the piano. Surrounded by the family flair and forte, she started sharing her musical gift as she sang her first solo in church when she was only three. It seems as though music has always streamed through her veins. Erin accomplished playing the violin while in grade school. Piano, became her instrument of choice. She was able to experience her first recording experience back when she was in middle school.
Karen Carpenter and Sandi Patty were some of her favorite vocal forces during these influential years. In high school Erin won awards and honors in All State Chorus and Concert Choir, another grooming ground for her aspirations. From the seeds of a strong family foundation, performing at local events, and church, Erin’s dream grew until it expanded far from the haven of home.
As Owens worked toward her graduation from North Greenville College, she performed with a group called "Joyful Sound". They entertained at revivals and churches as a musical ministry.
Using this learning experience Erin helped form a group called "Distant Call". To compliment their live concerts, they recorded a record called "Say the Word".
Mark Lister, an experienced producer/writer of RowPro Entertainment was intrigued with the natural beauty and range of Erin’s voice. Mark’s name is established and respected, as he has formerly ridden the Billboard charts as a member of the popular group Dixiana. He is now co-owner of Dixiana Music in Nashville where they have recently recorded her record "Blink". These songs are being presented to major record labels in pursuit of an avenue to national radio airplay.
...{Her} musical style and conviction represents her faith, and that is a success within itself. Moved by her ambition and God’s spirit she’ll travel the path that music has sculpted.
