Career
Conte's first notable appearance in mainstream media was when he supplied his voice for the "teenage boy" character in the popular videogame The Sims 2.
Conte first gained widespread attention when his video Yeah Yeah Yeah was featured on YouTube's main page. The video, animated in stop motion, has garnered over 954,000 views as of August 2016. The majority of his new music is released as singles posted to YouTube. These mostly take the form of "VideoSongs", a medium he defines with two rules:
Conte formed the band Pomplamoose with Nataly Dawn in mid-2008. The band's presence is primarily online, having only performed a handful of live shows. Nevertheless, the collaboration has garnered significant fan support. Fueled by the feature of their video "Hail Mary" on the main page of YouTube, Pomplamoose's channel has over 445,000 subscribers as of March 2015. The band recently produced the next studio album of Julia Nunes.
On May 7, 2013, Conte announced the launch of Patreon, a crowdfunding venture together with cofounder Samuel Yam. The startup is "like a kickstarter for people who release stuff on a regular basis."
Reception
Much of Conte's work has been met with positive reviews, citing evocative lyrics in Sleep in Color, creative delivery of his videosongs and the tenacity to create his own niche in the Internet music market. However, Conte's music was reviewed less favorably by Amplifier magazine: "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."
Personal life
Conte and Nataly Dawn became engaged in January 2016, and were married in May 2016.
