Career
Conte began his career as a video game voice actor, contributing the voice for all teen male sims in the 2004 bestseller The Sims 2.[3][4]
Conte created his YouTube channel in 2007 to upload music videos inspired by the Dogme 95 movement.[5] He gained widespread attention when his video Yeah Yeah Yeah was featured on YouTube's front page.[6] Most of Conte's music videos follow a format called "VideoSongs", defined by two rules: no lip-syncing for instruments or voice ("what you see is what you hear") and no hidden sounds ("if you hear it, at some point you see it").[7][8]
In 2008, Conte formed the band Pomplamoose with Nataly Dawn, who later became his wife.[9] The band garnered significant fan support, primarily through their YouTube videos.[10][11]
Much of Conte's work has been met with positive reviews, citing evocative lyrics in Sleep in Color[6] and creative delivery of his VideoSongs.[12] However, Conte's music was reviewed less favorably by Amplifier: "Hints of Conor Oberst, Radiohead, Patrick Watson, contemporary punk rock (screamo), radio power pop, and incalculable other singer songwriters are more than borrowed, making for a short mishmash of electro rock."[13]
On May 7, 2013, Conte announced the launch of Patreon with co-founder Samuel Yam. Conte has compared his company to Kickstarter, but "for people who release stuff on a regular basis."[14]
In 2022, Conte formed the synth-pop band Magaziine.[15]
Personal life
Conte was born in San Francisco and grew up in Marin County, California.[16] He studied music and composition at Stanford University, graduating in 2006.[17] Conte and Nataly Dawn engaged in January 2016[18] and married in May 2016.[19]
