side-projects, but he is best known for Owl City. Adam Young first started by posting things on MySpace and iTunes, he sold about 2,000 tracks per week. The first album ever to be released by Owl City was Of June. This was uploaded to his MySpace page in 2007. After this album another one was released during 2008. This album is called Maybe I’m dreaming, which I forget what album this was for him. The seventh song on this album features on the album called Almost Alice. Which isn’t his album but his song is on there. Ocean Eyes was released to the iTunes store in 2009. Later on in the year, it was released to stores. One of the songs on Ocean Eyes was Fireflies. Adam Young, himself, described this song as “a little song about bugs and not being able to fall asleep at night.” Which this became Owl City’s first number one single. This song had over 4 million downloads. As you can see this was a very popular song. Due to the success of Young’s albums Of June and Maybe I’m Dreaming he signed to Universal Republic Records in 2008. In between those two years, another two albums were released, these albums are called All Things Bright and Beautiful and The Midsummer Station. A short bit, after All Things Bright and Beautiful, was released in 2011, it sold like a crapload of copies. His fifth album which leads up to this year of 2015 is called Mobile Orchestra. Adam was asked a few questions by a person named Paley Martin.
He was asked questions about his fifth album Mobile Orchestra. He was asked a total of eight questions, but I’m going to be focusing on two of them. The first question I will be focusing on is, “How do you feel like the featured artists, all coming from different genres and backgrounds, contributed to the picture you were trying to paint?” He replied by saying, “So happy with how it turned out. I’m trying to invite these different artists who are so good at what they do, from all corners of the music world.” To me, I think that this is pretty cool that he does this. He sings with different people from around the world. Not all around the world, but just from certain parts. That is pretty much all I have to say, about Owl City dealing with his albums and songs. I guess all I have to talk about now is why I like Owl City’s music. First, I would like to say one reason I like his music is because he is a Christian. That means I can expect him to have clean lyrics. I don’t like listening to music that doesn’t have clean lyrics. Second, I find a lot of his songs having to do with his imagination. This kind of like puts thoughts into my mind, and I like that
about his music. Third, I guess it’s just inspiring to me. This is the type of music I can just listen to over and over and over, no matter how much I will never get tired of this music. Fourth, when I listen to his music, I guess it’s kind of like an escape from life. That is the last reason I can think of as to why I like Owl City. My all time favorite quote from Adam Young would be, “Dreams don’t turn to dust”.

Billy Joel was born on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York. He moved at the age of four to a small town on Long Island. This is where at the ripe age of four he discovered the art of music. Originally a classical music fan, Billy Joel honed his skills with classical piano training. This undoubtedly has had a major influence on his life and certainly his music. Growing up Joel was a big fan of such greats as Ray Charles, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Otis Reading. He was greatly persuaded into a career of music when he saw the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show. Amusingly Joel's first band was inspired by the uncanny opportunity to meet girls. The band was called The Echoes, but this was not the best of times for Joel because his parents were involved in a messy divorce, which included serious financial shortcomings. Joel even began working professional music gigs at night to help support his mother. Joel's schoolwork suffered a little and he began missing school way too often. He was subsequently not allowed to graduate with his high school class due to the number of absences. After high school Joel immediately joined a very popular band called The Hassels for which he recorded two albums with. Within two years Joel was on to a new band which he named Attila, and featured heavy metal drummer Jon Small who he played with during his time with The Hassels. Despite the previous release of two albums Joel still needed to bring in more money so he worked many music related jobs and gigs. He even wrote a rock and roll criticism piece in a weekly column for a magazine.
