"Pogo is a Perth based music producer who has attracted a huge following across the globe."
Lol, a little exaggeration there?
Great work Nick! I have downloaded your songs.
Hmm.. You have no idea how big Pogo is. Don't hate, appreciate.
Amazing stuff man ! Please continue to make your music !
What the hell are you talking about Hmmm.... Pogo's well known.
Jealous much?
Alice is my favourite.
Can't say I've heard of Pogo before. And after listening to some of his music, I'm not sure why he would be popular if he is, because the songs seem quite amateurish to me. I can't speak for the person before me, but I for one am not jealous - I have gained some musical popularity myself, and not to sound arrogant or condescending, but my songs are a bit more advanced and less of a messy collage in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Pogo's tunes seem pretty swell and somewhat unique in that they focus on mixing sounds from primarily Disney sources. Anyhow, it just might be that my musical tastes are quite far removed from the happy joyous mumbling bumbling tunes that Pogo have created, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, I suppose, although a few of you (Robin and Busta90) seem to have slightly distorted perceptions of reality if you think this guy is "big" by any relative standards. :P
i'm with the guy above me ... i'm not really seeing why a few ppl here are going head over heels over this guy pogo. i don't think there's anything to be jealous of. these tunes sound somewhat like nursery songs for children, and have a very VERY simple structure if you actually listen. these songs can be easily be put together with a bit of patience and some editing skills. ask anyone who has studied and/or written music to a significant degree, and after listening to these songs and doing some basic analysis, they'll tell you this pogo guy is a far cry from being a "musical genius" ... maybe a "talented man in musical/video collage" but to say much more would be a little unjustified. i can see these songs appealing to the younger crowd though, but i don't think that crowd is enough to make pogo big or prosperous. i must admit though - pogo has definitely demonstrated a semblance of musical ability. congrats and i hope pogo the best. :))

Where's the proof Jason? Link please. That's right I didn't think you had one. lol
Oh well Jason (a.k.a Hmm...), you have your view and we will have ours. Just because we don't agree with you doesn't mean our perceptions are distorted. Many people are fans of people that you might not like. That's just how it goes. Accept it.
P.S. Why do you guys write so much? It must really get to you huh!
lol robin/pogo' is mad don't piss him off
Ok guys, comments here are starting to get ugly. We won't be having any of that here. We appreciate everyone's strong point of view, but it stops there. Many thanks.

This is just fantastic. How have I not heard this stuff? Gardyn is just magnificent!
you beats are killer, keep them up and come visit melbourne soon, wouldnt mind seeing you make beats live.
there is a serious case of haterade guzzling going on here. @jason aka hmm.... et al. Where is the video that disney/pixar sponsored YOU to do? Do you have potential clients like honda?
hmm.... thought so.
pogo ignore the obvious jealous haters, you do great work and im surprised its taken me this long to find your work.
You have skills...great stuff - thanks for putting it out here.
Honestly lol at all the haters, I happen to manage Pogo, and they couldnt be more wrong. You have no idea how much interest he has. Their isnt a major studio, label, or talent agency that hasnt come knocking. Aside from his incredible artistic integrity, he is in fact, nothing short of a musical genius. Which is why hes one of the most listened to independent musicians in history and youre, well, not. Everytime someone reinvents the wheel theirs a few naysayers still trying to walk. If nothing else, hes arguably one of the best vj's alive, which may not mean much to you but is impressive for a kid who does this in his spare time. Scoff all you like but Im with the other gent, Jason, Id love to see your work and compare. If its so easy, jason or anyone else, my email is below, shoot me a line and Ill gladly get you any movie stems you want so you can take a crack at it.
