David Owens Releases New Single “Loose The Cage” on New Label “As Below So Above”

David Owens, widely known as "Dublin's Grafton Street Busker," has released his latest single, Loose The Cage. This song is one of the first releases on the newly founded label As Below So Above and marks an exciting step in David’s musical career.


Loose The Cage is a heartfelt and beautifully crafted song. With a sound reminiscent of Bon Iver, David effortlessly moves between his soaring falsetto and deep, grounded tones. The track has a light acoustic feel, enriched by gentle piano, subtle electric guitar, atmospheric sounds, and David’s signature choir arrangements, which add a powerful and unique layer to the song.


The single was produced by The Aleph, a long-time collaborator and friend who also worked on David’s Old Moon album.


David has built a strong reputation as one of Dublin’s most loved street performers, drawing crowds on Grafton Street with his soulful voice, skilled piano playing, and emotional performances. In addition to piano, David also plays guitar, bringing even more depth to his music both live and in the studio.


This release marks an important milestone for David, as he brings his music to a wider audience. With its stripped-back yet powerful arrangement and raw emotion, Loose The Cage is sure to strike a chord with listeners everywhere.


Loose The Cage is available now on all major streaming platforms.

"Gayatri Mantra" 



The Gayatri Mantra marks the second official release for the LOVE IS RISING project.

It features vocalist Calm Intuition, originally from Venezuela and now living in Spain, Sascha Kid from Switzerland on Cello, and J•C. Produced by The Aleph, this track represents an eclectic mix of world music, electronic elements, and traditional Mantra.


The Gayatri Mantra is associated with new beginnings and the concept of sunrise metaphorically. The mantra is dedicated to the Sun deity, Savitr, who represents the source of life, energy, and enlightenment. Just as the sunrise marks the beginning of a new day, chanting the Gayatri Mantra symbolizes the awakening of one's inner self, seeking spiritual illumination, and embracing fresh starts, renewal, and the awakening of consciousness. It is often recited at dawn, connecting its symbolism with the rising sun and the start of a new day to invoke clarity, positivity, and divine guidance for a fresh beginning. 


A heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped bring this project to reality: Karen (Venezuela), who lends her voice & Sascha Kid, for adding his Cello-Magic; long-time collaborator Matty Harris, for mastering the track; and to the many others who supported us along the way.

This marks the second official single release by The Aleph, part of a series of collaborative songs dedicated to the cause. A new song will be released each month. #loveisrising
