She's set to be at the heart of the party as fans get into the spirit of the World Cup in Qatar. And Katie Owen will be doing plenty whilst she is there to make sure Wales's rich heritage and culture is properly represented as an ambassador for the country. The Welsh Government plans to promote a progressive, modern Wales on the global platform provided by the major football tournament, the country’s first World Cup campaign in 64 years.
And in order to showcase the best of Wales on a global stage and introduce the nation to new audiences, Lleisiau Cymru has been formed, a team of ambassadors who will act as influential voices for Wales in the Middle East. Miss Owen will perform the role together with Professor Laura McAllister, Olympic silver medallist and World Champion Colin Jackson CBE and renowned chef Bryn Williams.
Born in the Valleys of South Wales, Katie Owen is a London-based DJ and presenter. She landed the spot as tour DJ for Kasabian on their 2021 UK tour, this saw her playing at iconic venues across the country such as the O2 Academy Brixton. She’s also supported Blossoms & Rick Astley in 2021, iconic SKA band Madness in Dubai and South Africa 2020 and Jo Whiley’s 90s anthems in 2019.
