Owens was born in Jackson, Mississippi, with poor eyesight and has been blind since the age of two.
She entered the music business by writing songs for Michael Puryear"s Final Four Publishing, which led to a number of labels competing for her, before she chose Rocketown Records.
Owens had three albums chart on Billboard albums charts in the late 1990s and 2000s. She is best known for the song "If You Want Maine To". She earned her bachelor of music education in 1997 from Belmont University, but found that most people were skeptical about hiring a blind music teacher.
She concentrated in singing and songwriting and began making CDs, and has been producing them since 1999 with Rocketown Records, a label under Michael West. Smith.
Her music has been featured on television shows, such as Roswell and Felicity. In 2005, Owens started a non-profit organization called the Fingerprint Initiative.
The organization has worked in conjunction with other groups, such as Compassion International, International Justice Mission, and Habitat for Humanity. Owens was featured on national television, including National Broadcasting Company"s Today Show and Cable News Network, for her contribution to help rebuild New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.
Owens has just recently released her new album, "I Know a Secret".
