The Birth of Pomplamoose
Pomplamoose was born in 2008 when Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn started collaborating on quirky, DIY musical covers and original pop songs. Posting their work on YouTube, their visually engaging “VideoSongs”—where every sound you hear is shown on screen—soon captured the hearts of a global internet audience.
Their open, experimental approach to music production and video made them instant internet stars, quickly amassing a dedicated following. Fun fact: the name “Pomplamoose” is taken from the French word for grapefruit!
Unique Musical Style & Genre
Blending pop, indie, electronic, funk, and jazz, Pomplamoose’s sound is catchy yet unpredictable. Their hallmark: every instrument seen on screen is played live, and every vocal is real.
They reinvent classics into playful remixes and mashups, turning familiar hits into their own signature style. Their original work, from up-tempo bops to intimate ballads, always bursts with inventive arrangements and creative humor.
Creative Collaborations
Pomplamoose regularly invites guest musicians to join their sessions—vocalists, horn players, and fellow YouTube creators—adding new flavors with every collaboration. Through their “Pomplamoose Presents” series and their own channel, they’ve featured incredible talent like Ben Folds, Sarah Dugas, Tessa Violet, and dodie, among others.
Impact on Indie Music & DIY Artists
Pomplamoose is a pioneer of the YouTube music scene — showing that you don’t need a record label to go global! By connecting directly with fans and making use of Patreon crowdfunding, they have inspired a generation of indie musicians to take creative and financial control of their work.
Their success has helped legitimize the “internet band,” making it possible for digital musicians everywhere to thrive, and showing that genuine human connection (not just big budgets) builds lasting careers.
