Emmy, GRAMMY®, and George Foster Peabody Award-winner Endea Owens is one of jazz’s most vibrant emerging artists.
Endea Owens is a Detroit-raised bassist and composer who has been mentored by jazz icons the likes of Marcus Belgrave, Rodney Whitaker, and Ron Carter and performed with Wynton Marsalis, Jennifer Holliday, Diana Ross, Rhonda Ross, Solange, and Jon Batiste to name a few.
In 2018, Owens graduated from The Juilliard School and joined the Late Show with Stephen Colbert as a member of the house band, Stay Human. Owens’ work has appeared on Jon Batiste’s GRAMMY® Award-winning album We Are, Oscar-nominated film Judas and the Black Messiah, and H.E.R’s widely acclaimed Super Bowl LV performance.
