Awesome Artists: Pogo
So this week I bring you Pogo. Who is perhaps one of the most brilliant and clever artists on Youtube.
Here is a brief about me from Pogo:
"My name is Nick Bertke, better known as Pogo. I'm the chap behind such movie remixes as Alice, Upular and Skynet Symphonic, and I've spent so much time making music that it's now all I do with my life. I have worked for major studios including Disney Pixar and Showtime, found myself in the Wall Street Journal, performed for YouTube Play at the Guggenheim Museum, and have managed to share my music with over 11 million people on YouTube to whom I owe everything for their overwhelming love and support. It's my ultimate goal to share my music with the world, and I'm eternally grateful to everyone who has tuned in!" -Pogo's Youtube About Me
His talent lies in his ability to take sounds from movies and masterfully meld them together into calming almost etheral songs. It is hard to pick a top song to listen to. They are equally amazing, funk filled remixes of classic, well loved movies.
It did get him into some trouble with Disney, who used their power to shut his mouth and have him profesionally produce music for them for a year. Binding him within the law from doing what he loves. Though he is free now, who know what they, or any other corperation for that matter may try to do.
So his music is world and I emplore you the reader to check him out and comment, fave and subscirbe on Youtube and follow him on his site. (links provided after the video)
Here is a taste of his genius:
