The impetus for Owen was a direct result of the demise of American Football. Up to that point, having been associated with a number of bands, Mike sought a project where he could have complete creative control over all aspects including songwriting, recording, album artwork, and overall artistic direction.

When it came time to record his solo album, Mike approached Polyvinyl Records with the idea to take the money that normally would be spent on a recording studio and instead spend it on software so he could record the album on his own. He ended up heading to his mother’s house in Chicago and turned his old bedroom into a recording studio. Wishing to avoid the connotations associated with solo singer-songwriters, Mike began recording under the pseudonym, Owen.

Mike has released 5 albums, numerous EP’s and splits as well as touring across North America, Canada and Europe with the likes of Copeland, The Appleseed Cast, Maritime, The City On Film, Mewithoutyou, Rainer Maria and many more.
