Adam Young

Born in July 5th, 1986, in Owatonna, Minnesota, US

American composer, multi-instrumentalist musician and singer. He is known to be the founder of Owl City.

He began composing melodies in his head while working, which he would later record in his studio in his parents' basement, as he suffered from severe insomnia. Since he made his own music, he began posting his early tracks on Internet sites like MySpace, juggling his love of music with his job at the Coca-Cola store. Young's songs began to accumulate views on the network and becoming popular.
