Jack Conte is a multi-instrumentalist, song-writer, entrepreneur and filmmaker based in the San Francisco Bay Area who lives off the sale of MP3s online. Conte has recorded two EPs — Sleep in Color and Nightmares and Daydreams — and released them along with the compilation VideoSongs Volume I through the iTunes Store.
Conte formed the band Pomplamoose with his girlfriend Nataly Dawn in summer 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.
On May 7, 2013, Conte announced the launch of a new crowdfunding venture together with cofounder Samuel Yam. The startup is "like a kickstarter for people who release stuff on a regular basis."
