Early life
Daddy Owen was born in Kakamega, Western Kenya, in 1982. He is the second child in a family of four brothers, all musicians, and a sister. Rufftone, his elder brother, is a gospel singer who Daddy Owen referred to as "my inspiration." He is alumnus of Eshihiru Secondary School, but he was unable to enroll in a tertiary academy due to financial constraints. He then had to fly to Nairobi, where he served as a matatu tout. The income he earned from this work was so insignificant that it did not meet his family's needs and those of his relatives. Daddy Owen has always stated that he used to be a pick pocket in Downtown Nairobi, and that he was not until he was assaulted by a crowd and almost lynched him.
"It all happened in a split second." All I remember was lying on a huge crowd of people beating me mercilessly. Using a sharp blade, one poked my eye. In the meantime, I could imagine the rest of the people screaming for someone to start a car tyre to burn me alive."
After spending a whole week in an eye hospital in Kikuyu, he decided to start over a new one. He does have a scar on his left eye that he conceals with his pair of sunglasses, but not much more.
Career
Owen began singing way back in high school, but he was unable to be noticed because he did not have money to record his songs because he was from a humble background. He attributes his rise to his family's generosity, both financially and emotionally, as well as his brother Rufftone and the late gospel artist Kaberere, who has often referred to him as his mentor.
Haijalishi, Daddy Owen's first album, was released in 2004. "Mbona" was co-authored by Denno, "Foundation," "Tobina," "Saluti," "Saluti," and "System ya Kapungala." He is now a praise and worship member of the Kenya Assemblies of God in Nairobi, Kenya. Daddy Owen has four albums to his name: Saluti, System ya Kapungala, Son of Man, and Haijaya. From 2009 to 2011, he was named male artist of the year by the Groove Awards from 2009 to 2011. His song 'Saluti' received three groove award nominations and went on to win in both three categories. Mwatia is a well-known Lingala musician.
He is the founder of Malaika Awards, a Charitable charity for the disabled.
