This is one of my favorite musicians. Band with one person (Adam Young) and its synthpop genre. I like it very much. Owl City was born from Young's musical experiments in his parents' basement in Owatonna, Minnesota. Suffering from insomnia while working at a Coca-Cola warehouse in his hometown, Young turned to music. He began receiving attention for songs he had uploaded to MySpace, the "viral popularity" of which would later result in his signing to a major label. His career started from here. Owl City gained mainstream popularity with the 2009 major label debut album Ocean Eyes, which spawned the hit single "Fireflies". "...I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly...". Ocean eyes released on July 14, 2009, with its popular single: Fireflies, Vanilla Twilight, and Tidal Wave. But the single that I like is Hello Seattle. Ocean Eyes reached the top ten on the US album charts and topped the US electronic charts and also reached Amazon MP3's top 10 most downloaded album list. By December 2009, it was certified Gold in the United States. On January 24, 2010, Owl City reached the number 1 spot in the UK Top 40 Singles chart with "Fireflies".

"New Project of Adam Young"
Young has revealed a new musical project known as Sky Sailing, moving away from his usual electronica genre of music and introducing acoustic guitar and piano accompaniments into his work. The unrefined tracks were recorded in the summer of 2007 before he began making music as Owl City. One album has been released by the project - An Airplane Carried Me to Bed which was released on July 13, 2010, and features some of the early recordings of Adam Young, before he toured as Owl City. I like single "Brielle" in this album. 
Sky SailingHe also stated on his Twitter, that he will release a song for the upcoming film, Legend of the Guardians, titled To The Sky which hit the Internet on September 1st, However most videos which had the song have been removed from YouTube due to several copyright claims by UMG (Universal Music Group). So where I can watch To The Sky video?
