Jackson Owens
Jackson Owens is an emerging R&B artist who engaged Māia to support the release of his debut EP Better With You on May 13th, 2022, and its second single Can’t Make It Right.
Māia secured a total of 49 pieces of media coverage across mainstream, national, music, iwi, print, online, and social media. This included primetime spots on TV1 Breakfast, Mai FM, Te Karere, Te Ao Māori News and Flava.
This impact was seen in the charts, where Can’t Make It Right spent 10 weeks in the Hot NZ Singles Charts, 4 months in the Shazam Top 200, 16 weeks in the Radioscope NZ Airplay Chart - with 7 weeks in the top 5, 16 weeks in the RadioScope100, and 16 weeks in the R&B Beats Airplay chart - with 10 consecutive weeks in the top 3.
Jackson re-entered the charts with the EP’s third single, Mind Control, and his Waiata Anthems single Tē Tika Mai Ai.
Jackson was a finalist for the Aotearoa Music Awards in the Te Kaipuoro Awe Toa | Best Soul/RnB Artist category for the Better With You EP. Without a debut album, Jackson was the only emerging artist nominated in the category.
