Face Up by LIGHTS

Adam Young (Owl City) and Lights Valerie Poxleitner (LIGHTS) should get married.

Lights was born in Timmins, Ontario. She was raised by missionary parents and spent much of her childhood in various parts of the world, ranging from the Philippines to Jamaica. She is of German and Austrian descent. She currently lives in Toronto.

When she asked herself in a self-interview about when she wrote her first song, she said “I was 11, and I learned three chords on the guitar. It was the first time I really learned how to play guitar and I wanted to write a song with them so I went down to my mom and I said pick a number between 1 and 150 and she picked 5 or something, I can’t really remember the number, but I went and opened up the Bible and there was 150 Psalms already written so I went to the number she chose and wrote a song with that and that kicked off the biggest thing of my life.”
