 Owl City is an electronic music project created in 2007 by singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Adam Young (born July 5, 1986). Young is the only constant member of Owl City, and it is undoubtedly the most well-known among his many musical projects.At the time of the project's inception, Young was working a job loading Coca-Cola trucks that he had found after graduating high school. During this time, he suffered from insomnia, which led him to begin composing melodies in his head while at his job and then turning them into songs in a studio in his parents' basement.He gained a following uploading his songs on MySpace, and cultivated a fanbase by responding to any messages he received and posting frequent blogs. After his first independent releases saw impressive success, he was signed to Universal Republic Records (now just Republic Records) in 2009. His subsequent release, Ocean Eyes, would make the project a household name through the success of several hit songs, the most popular being "Fireflies", a sweet little song about his aforementioned insomnia and the loss of childhood innocence.Owl City's sound is generally characterized by bubbly synths combined with oddball lyrics about cutesy romance, nostalgia, ethereal musings and puns. Lots of puns. Depending on who you ask, this combination of elements is either endearing or sickening. Nevertheless, Young has otherwise enjoyed a reasonably successful career, particularly with providing theme songs for several animated features, though he has yet to top his first big hit in terms of commercial success. To his credit, "Good Time", his collaboration with Carly Rae Jepsen, did come fairly close.Aside from Owl City, Young has also recorded music under several other projects including the acoustic indie rock act Sky Sailing, the ambient acts Port Blue and Color Therapy, the electronic act Insect Airport, and a series of film-score-style instrumental albums inspired by historical events released under his own name. He's also dabbled in screamo across several projects; yes, really.
