Owen Bryan Jr. is an American poet, author, and construction project manager of Jamaican descent.

Owen did not realize his interest in poetry writing until later on in life, at the age of 27, after graduating college. Growing up, Owen was more of an analytical thinker. Excelling at math and science in school, the creative arts was not Owen’s strong suit. However, Owen used to listen to a lot of hip-hop music growing up. The poetic rhyme schemes, wordplay, storytelling, and lessons he learned from hip-hop artists have been a tremendous influence in him delving into writing poetry.
