Troubled by insomnia, Young began spending his evenings after work in the household basement, where a computer and several instruments provided a diversion from his sleeping patterns. A devout Christian, themes of spirituality often play a role in his music.nnYoung launched the Owl City project in 2007 while living at his parents' home in Owatonna, Minnesota. Known for seeking out a variety of collaborators to sing on his records, Young found success a few years later, enlisting Carly Rae Jepsen for his 2012 hit single "Good Time."

Mixing warm electronica and earnest, emo-tinged pop, Young's savvy in promoting his songs with the then-dominant MySpace network helped him rise from blue-collar insomniac to mainstream major-label success with 2009's multi-platinum Ocean Eyes.
