Recent release ‘Sunshine Street’ is an original song written and produced by Owen Deacon. The song talks of love and peace. The style borrows elements from Jazz, Blues, and Reggae. The resulting soundscape presents itself as a dream in audio dimension, equal to the visual dream scenes of summertime in the city. The video was recorded on the streets of London.

An audience with Owen Deacon is indeed an experience, sweeping listeners and onlookers off their feet with the dynamism of his delivery, the intricacy of his compositions and the poetic evangelism of his lyrics, due to a background rich in musical and biblical education. And yet, for all his talent, he remains a man of great humility.

His musical journey began in secondary school, where he spent two years as a trombonist in the Brent Youth Orchestra. Owen then further honed his skills at Goldsmith College in South East London where he studied composition, music theory and vocals.

What followed is a walk along a path of musical growth, from gigging Lover’s Rock band “Classic Black”, to supporting great reggae artists such as the late Dennis Brown and Delroy Wilson, also Loose Ends. Among his long list of achievements are also recordings with Reggae legend, Dave Barker and Rock guitarist, Steve Hillage, among many.

It was somewhere after this time that Owen Deacon sought to know more about The Word, and went through two years of bible study, which led to his salvation through Christ and gave way to his gospel artistry. Needless to say his music continued on, with performances including with reggae’s top guns such as Luciano and Gregory Isaacs in 2003.
