Since first breaking onto the alt-pop scene in 2007, Owl City has built a global following on the strength of his heart-on-sleeve songwriting and endlessly inventive sound. Along with earning a monumental hit with the diamond-certified “Fireflies”—a 2009 release that reached No. 1 in 26 countries—the Minnesota-bred artist otherwise known as Adam Young has made waves with smash singles like the double-platinum “Good Time” feat. Carly Rae Jepsen and brought his exuberant live set to sold-out shows around the world. With total album sales of over three million and single sales surpassing 20 million globally, Owl City has now delivered the highly anticipated new album Coco Moon: a wildly imaginative body of work revealing his deepened devotion to the strange magic of creativity.

Music, to me, is not a career or a contest.  Music is meant to be shared and enjoyed. It is not "good" or "bad", but speaks to everyone differently. It is so important that music of certain kinds appeals to some and not to others - this creates variety. I make music not to compete, but to share, with everyone!
Music is emotional, spiritual and fun to create. I lose myself in the music making process, melting away the stress and troubles of my day.
I hope you enjoy listening to my music as much as I've enjoyed making it.
