ULYSEES OWENS Jr. Ulysses Owens Jr. is an artist “who takes a backseat to no one” (The New York Times), a label that seemingly describes his remarkable ascent as one of today’s premier drummers, or perhaps, his evolution as a producer, composer, educator, and entrepreneur. In fact, these words reach further back, to the time when Owens found music. At age two, Owens’s mother Gwendolyn, the choir director of their Pentecostal congregation, brought her son to rehearsal and gave him the best seat in the house: directly behind the drummer. Her priority was keeping track of him while she was conducting, but soon enough, she noticed he was actually keeping time. When that hired professional fell through, the boy was ready to assume his seat.
