A talented performer from Highfields who dreams of a career in the spotlight has released his debut single.
Sixth Form student, Owen La Cortar, has appeared regularly in principal roles in Highfields’ annual musical productions.
His most recent performance was as Gomez in The Addams Family, and he is hoping to move on to a Performing Arts course when the coronavirus pandemic has passed.
Owen, who is currently awaiting his A-Level results, has written, produced and recorded a number of songs from the bedroom of his home in Penn and hopes to release an EP of his work in the summer.
He has now released one of his songs, Insane, as a single, which is available on music sites including Apple Music, Spotify and TikTok.
The 18-year-old said: “As far as I can remember my goal has been to pursue a career in the performing arts, but with the current situation it felt like quarantine had somewhat put a stop to any opportunities of performing on stage.”
