In the wise words of ID Magazine, “If God could sing, he would sound like Robert Owens.”

With more than twenty years as a gifted singer, songwriter, producer and DJ under his belt, Robert is one of a handful of house music pioneers who helped define the music we all know and love today. Tears,I’ll Be Your Friend and Ordinary Peopleare just some of the cuts that have borne Robert Owens’ black-velvet voice and gone on to become truly classic dance records.

Like many other great vocalists, Robert Owens began his career singing in church gospel choirs. Growing up in the less affluent areas of Chicago and L.A., he used music as an escape from his destitute surroundings. Entry into the nascent world of 80s house music came not through Robert’s singing, but rather through his skills as a DJ. By the time people like Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles were laying down their own house music blueprint on the dance floors of legendary venues like the Warehouse and the Music Box, Robert was DJ-ing at block parties and smaller clubs in Chicago.

In 1985 Robert met pioneering Chicago producer Larry Heard, who invited him into his studio. Together they formed Fingers Inc with Ron Wilson and released a series of singles such as Mysteries Of Love and the instantly recognisable house standard Can You Feel It.

This is a guy who played PARADISE GARAGE, MUZIC BOX, THE WAREHOUSE, STUDIO 54 and countless other legendary clubs.
