The Groovies is not a competition; it is a recognition of the people that we feel are shaping VGM for the better. Each one of these artists adds something unique and irreplaceable to the video game music community, and for that reason, they deserve our support.

In this latest video, Ro Panuganti combines his love of VGM with his love of cooking (and video editing).

Thanks to the power of the internet, you can enjoy this panel (featuring yours truly) from MAGFest 2023, including my awful Dad joke at the beginning!

I had the great pleasure of hosting a panel on how to create a VGM cover album for this year’s vgmtogether.

More like, don’t mess with Allison Martin or Ro Panuganti! While Ro is no stranger the collaboration game, this is Allison’s first collaboration, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park!

While artists in the VGM scene create brilliant covers and arrangements from beloved video game franchises, we often minimize the originality of said artists when compared to songwriters and “original musicians.” With the help of a Twitter hashtag #VGMGoneOriginal (thanks @MaxNoelBass), I’d like to showcase a selection of excellent original songs written by your favorite VGMers.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time like you've never heard it before, "Link-182" reimagines this seminal video game soundtrack as a pop punk tribute in the same vein as Blink-182, Sum-41, Green Day, etc.

The Game Music Remix Awards are an annual award show created to highlight the incredible artists in the VGM cover and remix community. Congrats again to all the nominees, and without further ado, here are the 5th Annual Game Music Remix Awards’ winners!

April Fools’ is a time-honored tradition where VGM artists compete to create the most fun, memorable, and annoying cover possible. This year, everyone stepped up their game, making it hard for me to narrow down my favorites into one list.

While there were plenty of highlights during vgmtogether this past weekend, one moment (or video) stood out from the rest—“Line Them Up! A Paper Mario: The Origami King Concert” brought together over 160 musicians for a 30-minute medley.

For this article, I asked five VGM artists to share some of their favorite Holiday traditions along with their Christmas wishes!

With large worlds and a huge cast of zany characters, Banjo-Tooie is filled to the brim with themes worth remembering today, its 20th anniversary.

Ro Panuganti isn’t playing it safe with his latest album. In a literal sea of Undertale covers, there’s only way one way to stand out, and that’s to be fearless.

VGM favorites The Game Brass are back with another album, this time setting sail for tropical locations including Monkey Island, Dragon Roost Island, Yoshi's Island, and DK Island.

From the moment that Ro Panuganti told me about Moon Rock over two years ago, I was sold. A rock tribute to one of my favorite gaming soundtracks of all time, Super Mario Odyssey, seemed like a smash hit.
