Biography
Josh Owen, along with his
fraternal twin brother Jarrod, were born in
Vero Beach, Florida. Both brothers regularly participated in a variety of sports. Josh eventually took up
golf, and began pursuing a career as a professional golfer, winning his first golf tournament at age fifteen.
While recovering from his injuries, he borrowed a neighbor's guitar and began to teach himself how to play it. After seeing a guitarist performing at a campus bar, Owen asked the bar's owner if he could play a gig there. Eventually, Owen became a regular at the bar, and soon took up writing his own material as well. The song, which peaked at #16 on the
Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, served as the lead-off single to his debut album,
Startin' with Me.) After the album's release, Owen was signed as an opening act for acts such as
Brad Paisley and
Carrie Underwood on their tours; by September of 2007,
Startin' with Me had earned
RIAA gold certification.
The album's
title track, a ballad in which the narrator expresses his desires to change everything in his life (starting with himself), was released as Owen's second single. Spending more than thirty-five weeks on the
Billboard country charts, "Startin' with Me" became Owen's first Top ten hit, reaching a peak of #6. During this tour, the three acts began performing "
Life in a Northern Town" (a cover of British pop group
The Dream Academy's hit single from 1984) together. A
music video of their live performance was aired on the network
CMT; in April 2008, a recording of this performance entered the
Billboard country charts based on unsolicited airplay.
