Owl City is an American electronic music project created in 2007 in Owatonna, Minnesota. It is one of several projects by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Adam Young, who created the project while experimenting with music in his parents’ basement. Owl City developed a following on the social networking site, MySpace, like many musicians who achieved success in the late 2000s, before signing with Universal Republic Records, now Republic Records, in 2008.
After two independent releases, Owl City gained mainstream popularity with his 2009 major-label debut album, Ocean Eyes, which includes the Diamond-certified single “Fireflies”. The album was certified 2× Platinum in the United States, with “Fireflies” being certified Diamond in January 2023.

Owl City‘s music is described as indietronica and synth-pop and is often described as belonging to the electronic music genre. Young has stated that he is inspired by disco and European electronic music, as well as instrumental genres such as drone, ambient, and post-rock. He cites his biggest influences as Johnathon Ford of Unwed Sailor and Thomas Newman. As he is a vocal Christian, Young also incorporates his faith into some of his music. Young’s faith is evident on the album, All Things Bright and Beautiful, especially in the song “Galaxies”. Explaining why the faith-filled song was added to the mix, he said, “I feel like, if I were ever to hide the fact that that’s what’s so important to me, it would be a crime that I should probably be put in jail for.”
Owl City also has been compared to the Postal Service, often critically, for his combination of fuzzy synths, ironic lyrics, and use of female guest singers.
His discography includes seven studio albums, seven extended plays, twenty-four singles, and twelve music videos.
