The year is 1987. A seven year old me opened all his Christmas presents and there sits a Nintendo Entertainment System and the game, Kid Icarus. I didn't even ask for one, I had no idea.
I was a changed man.
The way the colors of the blocks and pillars contrasted against the black background. The way Pit jumped to the press of my button. And that title screen music... oh that title screen music. Be still my heart. I had no clue what I was setting out on, but a lifelong hobby, and eventually a career, would spawn from what I experienced that day.
Now let's jump forward to 1997. It's Valentines Day, and I'm single so... OBVIOUSLY I went to a pawn shop and bought a guitar, like you do. (I've had unhappy neighbors ever since.) The first song I learned? That magical title screen music from Kid Icarus. It was another milestone for me and not a day has gone by that I haven't practiced an instrument or been a part of creating something with talented people.
And finally, (if you'd stay with me for one more trip through time) it's 2007 and I realized that the only way I'm going to find the music I want, produced the way I want, is to do it myself. I've worked tirelessly since then, creating songs and sounds that inspire myself and others to think outside the ordinary. To enable them to experience what I experienced in that title screen music, and so many more since.
Now I'd like to talk about you. You've got a game you're making. A dream your running down. You come from the same line of people who created the game that seven-year-old-me fell in love with. That set my life on a certain course. The idea that I could help you realize your game's full potential is thrilling to me.
I've been running my studio full time for six years now. I'm certain my tens of thousands of hours, pouring over music and learning the tools necessary to my craft, would be invaluable to you. I also love games and their soundtracks, so when I sit down to play a new title I look forward to hearing how the music helps complete the experience. Coming from an industry that must have a hook to be heard, I'm capable of bringing style to your project. The kind of soundtrack that helps your game stand out. Hopefully, together we can make something awesome, that will inspire a kid somewhere to make something awesome...
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Sample my portfolio on the MUSIC PAGE. If you have ANY questions, or you just want to gush about your new game, contact me.
