Gary Brolsma

      Now lets look at some of the stars that came out of YouYube. For instance lets look at this man, Gary Brolsma.

Otherwise known as the Numa Numa Guy.

    Brolsma had recorded a video of himself dancing to the song "Dragostea din tei"by O-Zone. He then put first on Newgrounds and later on YouTube. The video took off and a Viral star was born. Seen as one of the essential figures in the early development of YouTube. He was at first embarrassed by his sudden fame but he would later show up around September 2006 with a new video on his new YouTube channel entitled New Numa.

    This video was professionally made by Variety beats and marked the start of a contest hosted off of YouTube offering cash rewards.


      Another of the interesting things Brolsma did was bring a surge of popularity to the song itself as it was popular in area like Italy and Romania but not so much in the U.S. The Viral video changed this. Though the band has since gone their separate ways they will forever be remebered thanks to Numa Numa Guy.
