Owl City is the electronic music project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Adam Young. Originating from Owatonna, Minnesota, Owl City first gained mainstream popularity with the release of the quadruple-platinum hit single "Fireflies" in 2009, from the album "Ocean Eyes." Young's music is known for its dreamy quality and synth-driven melodies, often exploring themes of imagination, love, and the beauty of nature. The project's name, a whimsical reflection of the nocturnal, creative process Young engaged in while producing music in his parents' basement, has become synonymous with his unique blend of electronica, pop, and indietronica.

Since his meteoric rise, Owl City has continued to evolve, with Adam Young remaining the creative nucleus, consistently releasing music that captivates a loyal fanbase. Recent works such as "Coco Moon," "Vitamin Sea," and "Adam, Check Please" showcase a continued passion for lush soundscapes and inventive lyricism. With albums like "Cinematic," which offered a more autobiographical perspective, and standalone tracks like the tender "Not All Heroes Wear Capes," an ode to his father, Owl City continues to enchant with its signature sound. Whether remixing classics such as "All Star" or contributing to theatrical works with tracks like "Waving Through A Window," from the hit musical Dear Evan Hansen, Owl City's music remains a vibrant tapestry of electronic artistry.
