Artist Watch: Pogo

by Samuel on July 07, 2009

Until now Australia's greatest exports have been limited to Oceanic Airlines and Vegemite, but Perth-born Pogo is getting heard all around the world. Taking bits and pieces of sound and music from movies like Marry Poppins and Alice in Wonderland, Pogo creates beautiful and new electronic music. His most famous 'Alice' had a whopping 2.7 million views on YouTube, and he consistently gets thousands of downloads and plays a day. Rearranging and retuning different voices from separate places comes together in charming visual representations of his music on YouTube, most notably on song 'Alohomora,' created from a hodge-podge of Harry Potter samples. Go check out Pogo on MySpace, YouTube, and Last.fm he's obviously worth it.
