Jake Owen Biography
When plans for a career as a professional golfer were derailed
by injury, country singer/songwriter Jake Owen picked up a guitar and
never looked back. A native of Vero Beach, FL, Jake and his fraternal
twin, Jarrod, grew up in the Florida sun playing sports like baseball
and football before Jake turned to golf and Jarrod to tennis. They
continued their respective sports together as students at Florida State
University, until a waterskiing accident resulted in reconstructive
surgery for Jake. Off the golf team and depressed, he borrowed a
neighbor's guitar and passed time teaching himself to play by listening
to childhood favorites like Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Vern
Gosdin, and Keith Whitley.
Ambitious but inexperienced, with good looks and a smooth baritone,
Jake could next be found playing country covers in campus bars for free
beer and a few bucks. Soon growing tired of covers, he began penning
his own songs that were met with positive response. This motivated Jake
even more to follow his new dream of becoming a singer, eventually
causing him to skip out on his remaining college classes -- only nine
credit hours remained on his English and political science degree --
and head to Nashville. He constantly wrote songs in his Bellevue
apartment, and a chance lunch meeting had producer Jimmy Ritchey (Clay
Walker, Mark Chesnutt) befriending the young musician. For over a year,
the two wrote songs together, including a track called Ghost (also
co-written by Chuck Jones) that Kenny Chesney almost wound up recording
-- the track would later be included on Jake's own album. Eventually,
his friendship with Ritchey led to a meeting with Sony/BMG Nashville
and resulted in a record contract for the determined 24-year-old, who
already had his album basically finished. His debut, Startin' with Me,
appeared in summer 2006 on RCA, spearheaded by the single Yee Haw. As
the song climbed higher in the charts, Jake supported the record on the
road opening for Kenny Chesney. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide
