Jake Owen was born Joshua Ryan Owen in Winter Haven, Florida, and raised in Vero Beach. He would become a country music sensation after the release of his debut album, Startin' with Me, in 2006. All three singles from the album ("Yee Haw", "Startin' With Me", and "Something About a Woman") reached the Top 20 on the country charts.
He has a fraternal twin brother named Jarrod.
If not for a wakeboarding accident that seriously injured his leg, we might have known Owen as a professional golfer rather than a singer. He won his first tournament at age 15 but had to abandon his dreams of going pro after the injury. While recovering from reconstructive surgery, he taught himself how to play the guitar.
