Born and raised in Toronto, country artist Owen Barney has been strumming the guitar since he was just seven years old, influenced by country heavy-hitters Eric Church, Dean Brody, and Jason Aldean. He has played shows around Toronto from the age of 14, and has spent the last few years honing his skills as a performer. 　　“What I’ve always hoped for myself is to someday be performing to a crowd that knows every word of my songs,” says Barney. With his debut single “Letting Go” garnering the attention of country fans across the country, Owen is ready to hit the ground running and melt a couple hearts along the way.
