I was featured by Black in Gaming for International Music Day - see their post below!
🎶 Press Play: Black Music in Gaming
For International Music Day, we’re celebrating Black artists whose music, performances, and sound design help shape the worlds we play. ❤️
Here’s just one highlight from each artist’s much wider body of work:
🎵 Chase Bethea: Duppy Detective Tashia OST
🎵 David McKee (ViRiX Dreamcore) @dreamcorev: Music contributions to Vividlope
🎵 Jongnic “JB” Bontemps @jongnic: Redfall original score
🎵 Mega Ran @mega_ran: “It’s a Pizza Party!” from TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge
🎵 MEMODEMO: “RGB” from Arcaea, co-created with AQUASINE
🎵 Omega Sparx: Co-created and performed “K.O.” for The King of Fighters Allstar
🎵 Star Victoria Power (Slide20XX) @slide20xx: Calico OST
🎵 Substantial @substantialmusic: Featured on “Loyal to the Beat” from Arknights
🎵 Wilbert Roget, II @wilbert.roget: Helldivers 2 OST
These selections represent only a small part of their contributions. Across indie titles and major franchises, these artists have composed soundtracks, designed adaptive music, performed character vocals, created original songs, AND helped define the sound of games and gaming culture!
Swipe through to meet the artists, then make sure you take some time to dig deeper into their catalogs. Which Black game music artist belongs on everyone’s playlist?
