The Tyler Owen Story
Who doesn’t have an “it all started when” kind of
story? Most of them are boring, but this one is extraordinary. Read on.
Tyler Owen, a Rochester, NY native, started playing guitar at about 7,
had his first band at 11 and was performing for money with his own band
at 12. Not bad? He was doing night club’s by the age of 16, as
well as his first small sports arena performances with his own written
original tunes. That led to touring outside of the U.S by the time he
was 18. I’d say he had a future in music.
Owen attended Berklee College of Music (Boston) in 1977-1979 and
it was there that he was introduced to record production and engineering,
while studying composition and guitar.
He relocated to Cleveland in 1979 and landed his first engineering gig at Agency
Studios (part of the landmark Agora Nightclub chain). Hits from “Moreen
McGovern” to “Play that Funky Music White Boy” came from
there, as did a myriad of legendary live recordings by most of the who's who
of rock, such as Springsteen, Bowie, Lou Reed, Rundgren, the Police, Toto,
Benatar, and Heart.
Owen has worked with artists from such groups as Fiter, the OJ's, Bone
Thugs, Pulley, LaVerte, Michael Stanely, James Gang, Cameo, Donnie Iris,
Eric Carmen, The Edsils, Drew Carey Show and who Tyler refers to as his
favorite, Robin Stone.
His experience also culminates working in major studios as Producer/Engineer
for 25 years with a wide background in styles and analog production, as well
as digital and sequencer based genres such as, hip hop, techno, and R&B.
Owen is a fluent programmer, musician, arranger, engineer, producer, and
writer!
He started his first studios around 1990, and grew steadily without
partners or venture capital.
CLR is the first studio complex to bring the SSL and Neve industry standard
to Ohio, and are still the only facility to date. Independent producers/engineers
who bring work here have clients like Ben Harper, Eight Ball, Black Crows,
Faith no More.
Owen is excited about the new facility and hopes to own and operate
it for a long time to come.
