Drew Bowen (born Adam Andrew David Lingenfelter, December 28, 1984) is a long-time influencer in the Southern California music scene as a Singer, Songwriter, and Music Producer.

Career
With musicians scattered throughout the Bowen lineage, Drew grew up heavily influenced by a number of big 1970s Rock and Folk artists, as well significant Indie and Punk Rock influences by his peers. These influences, combined with his individual study of Classical and Jazz music from childhood shaped an incredibly unique style of songwriting that first hit the LA music scene in the late 1990's. Drew has never been well known for seeking center stage during shows or live performances - some suspect his hearing damage from childhood may make him weary to do so. Still, Drew was seen on stage with several notable bands between 2002-2006, including multiple cities on Blink 182's Untitled Album tour, christian punk band MXPX, Something Corporate, and 30 Seconds to Mars.

During 2002-2006, Drew Bowen assisted on a variety of label-backed recording projects, most under ownership by Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group subsidiaries. During these years, Drew also shifted his style further from his Punk teenage years and settled in as an Indie/Alternative Rock sound, also increasing the breadth of musical complexity in his writing he became known for.

Drew Bowen's musical landmarks became very sparse following his sudden 2007 enlistment in the US Marines as an infantryman and a brief marriage that ended early 2014. While pretty much becoming a shut-in and likely paying several companies to scrub him from the internet, two things that were clear from then on - Drew Bowen had had enough of the spotlight, and likely some of his best songwriting was soon to come. Drew has no known association to a Recording Label since 2014. However, he has still been seen hosting names like Sia, John Mayer, Dan Reynolds (Imagine Dragons), Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy), and others at his Dana Point, CA home and Costa Mesa, CA studio.
