It’s #TurnUpTuesday and we’re bringing the smooth. 🎷
Sonic the Hedgehog meets jazz lounge energy, the same tracks you grew up with, reimagined with a whole new groove.

For your #GRAMMYs consideration

In the #AgroundZero 🎵 I tied the theme of Subnautica #leveldesign musically with lush pads/chord progressions to emulate water while seamlessly transitioning to combat layers

My gal Christiana in action. Not as involved as the other prototype video, but I cared about it just as much. Unfortunately, this too suffered from my inability to fill all the creative gaps in my concepts.

Game development isn’t easy. Life has a way of throwing punches when you least expect it, but the real strength is in getting back up and who knows... you might just run into someone who can help you out!😉💪

#ThrowbackThursday to when Jaleel White (Yes, Steve Urkel himself!) was the voice of the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog in not one, but three animated series!
90s kids remember:

🎙️ Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (1993)
🎙️ Sonic SatAM (1993–1994)
🎙️ Sonic Underground (1999)

Oh, the memories!

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth (U.K.) ! Last year I was celebrated on Oct. 4th and the feeling was historical and monumental.

What will also be historical is winning the #grammy this year for Best Original Music in the #gamemusic category. ⬇️
