He was born in a farmhouse between Llandderfel and Sarnau, Meirionnydd, before moving to his mother's family home in Sarnau village. He attended the local school, then Ysgol Tŷ-tan-domen, Bala, and trained as a secondary-school teacher at the Heath College, Cardiff. He taught at Machynlleth.

He won numerous local eisteddfod chairs, including Pontrhydfendigaid, Lampeter, Gŵyl Fawr Aberteifi (Cardigan), Powys and the Urdd. He was head teacher of Ysgol y Ffôr, Pwllheli, and Ysgol Treferthyr, Cricieth, before taking early retirement in order to run Siop y Pentan in Caernarfon.

He is the current Archdruid, having been appointed in July 2015. His tenure as Archdruid started in 2016 and will last for three years, 2016 - 2019.^[2]

His brother was the Prifardd Gerallt Lloyd Owen. ^[3]

In August 2018 Llifon caused controversy when he suggested the winner of the bardic crown, Catrin Dafydd, couldn't have achieved this without men. He later apologised.^[4]
