Owen Thomas has worn many hats in the past two decades: rock star, music producer, visual artist, video director, entrepreneur. After years of recording and touring with his band The Elms, and releasing a solo album (2012’s Languages) Owen shifted to focus on running Indianapolis-based Absorb, the creative agency and record label he co-founded with Jared Sparkman. Owen is responsible for some of my favorite music of the past 15+ years, and we talk about his life in music, the commitment to the creative process, and how the act of helping others achieve their visions just makes our lives better. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
