Owen Pallett biography

Owen Pallett (born Michael James Owen Pallett-Plowright, on September 7, 1979) is a violinist and singer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and winner of the inaugural Polaris Music Prize. On December 18th, 2009, Pallett announced the retirement from the old artist name, Final Fantasy, and would be henceforth releasing material under Owen Pallett. Previous albums released under the Final Fantasy name are planned to be re-packaged and re-released under the new name of Owen Pallett. Owen's previous projects included a 3-piece Toronto-based band, Les Mouches, now defunct. Pallett is still a member of another Toronto band called Picastro. They have also recorded and toured with The Hidden Cameras and Arcade Fire. One of Owen's songs, "This Is the Dream of Win & Regine", was inspired by the principal members of the latter group, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, and a Dntel song of a similar name ((This is) The Dream of Evan & Chan). Owen also co-wrote the orchestral arrangements for both of Arcade Fire's albums, along with Régine Chassagne.
