Harsh.TV Does An Exclusive Interview With The Very Talented Solo Artist Owen McGarry

Q.Tell us about who you are & What you do? 

I'm Owen McGarry, I'm a 19 year old solo artist from Belfast. From the start I've wanted to make sure I don't get placed in the 'acoustic singer songwriter' category as a musician, so having been brought up playing more than just one instrument, I've tried have the music I make reflect that. As far as an overall sound, I would get compared to a fusion between Snow Patrol, Maroon 5 and a little early Paulo Nutini.
