American singer and songwriter – Jake Owen has been active in the entertainment industry since 2005. The famous singer started his career as a golf enthusiast with the intention of pursuing a career in sports. He even went so far as to win his first tournament at the age of 15, but unfortunately he was injured in an accident that ended his golfing aspirations.

Jake Owen then signed with RCA Nashville record label in 2006 and after 12 productive years with the stable, the talented country singer signed with another popular music label known as Big Loud. Since the beginning of his career, Jake has recorded four studio albums and several hit songs, some of them reaching number one on the country music chart.

Early childhood and twin brother

It is common knowledge that the sportsman-turned-singer has a twin brother – Jarrod Owen. Jake and Jarrod were born on August 28, 1981 in Winter Haven, Florida. The twins were known to be interested in several sporting activities but Jake was very interested in golf with the aim of becoming a professional in the future. The brothers share a close relationship and seem to be best friends. Growing up, Jake and Jarrod attended Vero Beach High School before continuing on to Florida State University.

It will be surprising to learn that Jake Owen’s name is Joshua Ryan Owen. The musician had to change his name to Jake after signing his music contract with Sony Nashville to avoid confusion with other artists in the county named “Josh”.

As mentioned earlier, Jake Owen originally intended to become a professional golfer but had to undergo reconstruction surgery after a wakeboarding accident ended his golfing career. While recovering, he learned to play the guitar after borrowing one from his neighbor. Seeing a guitarist perform at a bar on campus made him feel necessary to approach the owner of the bar who had consented to him performing concerts at the bar. He eventually became a regular performer at the bar and began writing his own songs.

Unfortunately for Jake Owen, he had no desire for a lasting marriage; after just three years of marriage, news of her impending divorce hit social media. Their divorce, which was finalized in August 2015, reportedly left the singer devastated. He also said he misses spending more time with his daughter.
