Canada is doing well at the moment, another up and coming star is electro-pop maker Lights. This 20′something from Toronto is currently propelling herself into stardom with her synths that make her sound like a female version of Owl City and her quirky personality which is delighting fans through video blogs on myspace and youtube. She has just won a Juno (like our BRIT Awards i believe – just Canadian) award for ‘New Artist Of The Year’

Check her out on myspace at www.myspace.com/lightsnoise

Oh and yes, she is beautiful.

Here’s some songs.

February Air – Lights

Drive My Soul – Lights

This is going to be a 3 part blog.

Adam Young, also known as Owl City, also runs two other musical projects, Port Blue, and Swimming with Dolphins, which i will write about later on. But Firstly, Owl City.

Owl City is a electronic pop musical project from Minnesota, America. With quirky lyrics and light synths and strings with complicated fast-paced beats, Owl City has reached  success relatively quickly. Formed in early 2007, Mr.Young has reached the top of the myspace unsigned charts, gathered over 10 million plays and  released two albums called ‘Of June’ and ‘Maybe I’m Dreaming’.

Having recently signed to Universal, expected big things from this guy.
