OWEN HAS BEEN A STUDIO AND TOURING MUSICIAN SINCE THE AGE OF 18. HE ALSO STUDIED CLASSICAL GUITAR, RECORDING ENGINEERING AND MUSIC BUSINESS IN NASHVILLE, TN. IN 2005, OWEN PARKER MOVED TO LOS ANGELES, CA TO BE WITH HIS NOW WIFE/MANAGER ERIKA STACY PARKER. SHORTLY AFTER, OWEN STARTED HIS THEN SOLO PROJECT, LIBRA. IT TOOK OWEN 14 MONTHS TO WRITE/RECORD/PRODUCE THE CD, “NECESSARY AGGRESSION”. IN DECEMBER, 2006, OWEN MOVED TO AUSTIN, TX. HE DECIDED TO GIVE LIBRA A TEST RUN ON MYSPACE IN MAY OF 2007. SHORTLY AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE LIBRA MYSPACE PAGE, OWEN’S LONG TIME FRIEND AND FORMER DRUMMER BRIAN “BAM BAM” BROWN CONTACTED HIM AND THEY DISCUSSED JOINING FORCES. BEING THAT BRIAN WENT TO BERKLEY SCHOOL OF MUSIC AS WELL AS BEING AN OVERALL POWERHOUSE DRUMMER, OWEN FELT THAT BRIAN WOULD BE PERFECT FOR LIBRA. BRIAN’S RESPONSE TO JOINING LIBRA WAS, “HELL YEAH” AND JOINING LIBRA WAS “A NO-BRAINER”. THE DEBUT CD, NECESSARY AGGRESSION TOUCHES ON BOTH POLITICAL AND MORAL SUBJECTS AS WELL AS, NOT PUTTING UP WITH BEING FORCED TO ADHERE TO THE STATUS QUO. OWEN BELIEVES THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT SUBJECTS TO ADDRESS IN THE WORLD TODAY THAN JUST SEX, DRUGS, AND MONEY. LIBRA IS ABOUT OPENING PEOPLE’S EYES AND MINDS TO REALITY. LIBRA FOLLOWS THE TRADITIONAL METAL STYLE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SOUND LIKE EVERY OTHER METAL BAND OUT TODAY. IF YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAN WHAT IS THE POINT OF WRITING LYRICS? WE WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW WHAT OUR SONGS ARE ABOUT… TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT…SOME OF YOU WILL LOVE US AND SOME OF YOU WILL HATE US. THAT’S WHAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND. SEE YOU ON THE ROAD......
