Owatonna, Minnesota, United States (2007 – present)

Owl City is a synthpop project of Adam Young. Formed early 2007 in Owatonna, Minnesota, United States Owl City has reached the “Top Unsigned Artist” position on Myspace, having over 10 million total plays. His best known single is 2009’s “

Fireflies”, which in October 2009 hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Owl City has released the EP “Of June” in 2007; the album “Maybe I’m Dreaming” 2008; and in 2009, the album “Ocean Eyes” was released. Young maintains two side projects, Swimming With Dolphins, and Port Blue.

From the Facebook page:
“If your household appliances wrote love songs while you were away on vacation, their cheerful blips and bleeps would pour out the windows, sweep through the neighborhood like candy-coated tidal waves, and you would return home to find crowds of people standing on your lawn, clapping and singing along to the happiest pop melodies imaginable. Welcome to Owl City.”

@ Mad_Dingo704 I can prove he's a good musician. Listen port blue or windsor airlift (other adam young bands)

There's only postal service comparisons because he sings like Ben Gibbard to a backdrop of synths. and if this is 'the next postal service' I feel scared for the future. I also can't believe a Lights fan said Owl City is better than the postal service. Lights fans are supposed to be smart.

he doesn't actually use autotune, he just changes the pitch of his voice to make it sound like it does, its called Vocal Modulation.

I cant believe Postal Service ripped Adam off. They probably had like a time machine or somesome.

They are so much better than The Postal Service. And, plus, rip-off really? Why, because they are the same genre? Then every pop artist is a Madonna rip off! Come on. Mess with Adam, mess with me.
