Brandon Lowry grew up in the small rural village of Stoystown, Pennsylvania. His father worked in a factory and a coal mine to support the family. In his early years, Brandon studied piano and experimented with bootleg tape recording. In 2001, [[United Airlines Flight 93]] crashed in nearby Shanksville, PA as part of the 9/11 attacks. According to his accounts, Brandon left school and went to the nearby crash site to lend assistance. After walking through the crash site and viewing wreckage, he realized nothing could be done to help, so returned home. Lowry credits the event as a seminal influence in his early musical development but also a contributing factor to his eventual paranoia and development of [[The Truman Show delusion]].


After the success of "Stereo Hearts", Robopop coproduced the song "[[Video Games (song)|Video Games]]", the first breakout release from artist [[Lana Del Rey]]. "Video Games" was a huge success and its album ''[[Born to Die (Lana Del Rey album)|Born to Die]]'' has gone on to sell over 5,000,000 units worldwide. Lowry also played the piano part on the recording and was credited as a mixing engineer. After "Video Games", Lowry split off from Robopop and reemerged under a new alter ego Sterling Fox.

In 2015, he cowrote the [[Adam Lambert]] single Ghost Town with [[Max Martin]], which would go on to become certified Gold in the US. He also added the whistle part to the hook. According to Fox, lyrical inspiration and subtext for the song was a veiled reference to his own inability to come to terms with being a ghost writer for other people's songs.


Fox would also contribute writing to Where the Devil Don't Go for [[Elle King]]'s album [[Love Stuff]], which became one of the top selling Rock albums of the year. In 2016, it was featured in the Season 4 theatrical trailer for [[Orange is the New Black]].

He graduated from college, and after an early stint as a cruise ship pianist, Lowry's musical career came to fruition in 2007 after moving to New York City. He quickly came into demand as a session player, songwriter, and music producer. In 2008, he co-founded a music production team Robopop with Daniel Omelio.

The record was certified 3× platinum in the United States, 3× platinum in Australia and 2× platinum in Canada and reached #1 on the Billboard US Pop Songs Chart.[citation needed]

After the success of "Stereo Hearts", Robopop coproduced the song "Video Games", the first breakout release from artist Lana Del Rey. "Video Games" was a huge success and its album Born to Die has gone on to sell over 5,000,000 units worldwide. Lowry also played the piano part on the recording and was credited as a mixing engineer. After "Video Games", Lowry split off from Robopop and reemerged under a new alter ego Sterling Fox.

As a vocalist, Fox has worked on a number of electronic collaborations, including cowriting and singing the song "Shame on Me" from Avicii's album True and also writing and singing the song "Talk to Myself" from Avicii's 2nd album Stories.

In 2015, he cowrote the Adam Lambert single Ghost Town with Max Martin, which would go on to become certified Gold in the US. He also added the whistle part to the hook.
