Best Answer

Adam Young (Owl City) first started making music as a result of his insomnia.

Because he had insomnia (an illness where you can't get to sleep at night) , he'd go down to his parent's basement every night and work with one keyboard and one computer.

Eventually, he began uploading these songs he made onto his Myspace account and he was a big hit.

He then became noticed by a record label and in 2007, he released his first album, Maybe I'm Dreaming. In 2008, he released his second album, Of June and in the last few months of 2009 this third album Ocean Eyes was released.
