The daughter of missionaries, Nataly Dawn spent much of her childhood in Europe, where she attended Lycées Français in France and Belgium before returning to the United States to study art and French literature at Stanford University.[1]

Pomplamoose

Main article: Pomplamoose

It was at Stanford that Nataly Dawn met Jack Conte and formed Pomplamoose, eventually performing, recording, and editing songs and videos entirely on their own in their Northern California home. Their first upload to YouTube was an original collaboration, "Hail Mary", which was featured on the YouTube homepage.[2] In 2010, the duo began releasing covers of pop songs like Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and Lady Gaga's "Telephone".

Solo work

In 2009, Nataly Dawn self-released on iTunes her first solo collection, (Her Earlier Stuff), comprising 12 songs that had been posted to her YouTube channel over the preceding two years.[3][4]

In 2010, Nataly Dawn in collaboration with Lauren O'Connell formed the side project group My Terrible Friend.[5][dead link‍] In May 2011, it was announced that Dawn would be joining Barry Manilow on his new album entitled, Fifteen Minutes, singing the song "Letter From a Fan".[6]

On July 17, 2011, Nataly Dawn announced that she would be releasing a new solo album.[7][dead link‍] She started a funding campaign on Kickstarter, where the minimal goal of $20,000 was reached in just 3 days. On September 6, 2011, the album funding campaign came to a close with 2,315 people donating a grand total of $104,788, exceeding the original goal of $20,000 by more than five times.[8]

In August 2012, Nataly Dawn signed as a solo artist with Nonesuch Records, which released her Kickstarter-funded debut solo album, How I Knew Her, on February 12, 2013.[9] The album, which features 12 songs written by Dawn, was produced by Jack Conte and recorded at Prairie Sun Recording Studios in Cotati, California, in December 2011 with a full band that included Conte, Ryan Lerman, David Piltch, Louis Cole, and Matt Chamberlain.[10] Oz Fritz engineered the album with Conte; the album was mixed by Mike Mogis and mastered by Bob Ludwig.[4]

Dawn has released on her YouTube channel four videos of songs from the album, which were shot during the recording sessions by Eric Kallevig and edited by Dawn:[10] "Araceli",[11] "Leslie",[12] "Please Don't Scream",[13] and "I Just Wanted You to Get Old".[14]
