I make "Hyper 8-bit" covers of my favorite songs. Fun fact: I also write books for a living! Though the majority of my work is romance, I also write complex character-driven stories set in immersive, heavily RPG-inspired worlds. See what others are saying: www.amazon.com/author/darylbanner

I made this 8-bit for my mom’s birthday 😬 She’s a big BTS fan and this is one of her favorite songs. If you have a sec, can you wish her a happy birthday in the comments of the video? She means the world to me and I’d appreciate it πŸ₯° πŸ₯° Thank you for being a subscriber! πŸ™

I've been taking a bit of a break this past month and a half but was moved after watching the final season of Squid Game with my mom (we both cried) so I made this. It turned out a bit darker/heavier than expected, but I suppose that's just the honesty of where my emotions are at. More songs will be coming soon. I'm feeling very inspired. Billie Eilish, some goodies from the 80s/90s, Muse, a Radiohead song that my nephew fell in love with, a secret or two I don't want to reveal just yet, and of course more Lady Gaga. Thank you all for following me and sticking around. Take care of yourself and others πŸ’•πŸ’•

The full 8-BIT MAYHEM album is coming VERY soon, including an extended version of Abracadabra. It's also been submitted to Spotify and other streaming platforms and will be published on my Bandcamp for download as well (with a zero dollar price tag, like my other 8-bit cover albums). The Bandcamp version will include "Bad Romance (but it's Castlevania)" as well as a bonus unreleased Gaga classic I hope you enjoy, totaling 16 tracks. πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ Thank you fellow monsters for your patience! More 8-bits coming soon! πŸ™πŸ‘ΎπŸ€–

So I just finished "Don't Call Tonight" and I don't know what happened but it came out as an emotional ballad. πŸ˜… Also: "The Beast" turned into an over-6-minute-long final boss confrontation - lots of repeating the lyric "You can't hide who you are, 11:59" 🐺🐺🐺 I hope you enjoy these creative liberties when I release the full 8bit Mayhem soon!

Hyper 8bit of "Shadow of a Man" from β€ͺ@LadyGaga‬'s Mayhem now out! I think this may be the last one I individually release. The remaining songs - Killah, Don't Call Tonight, The Beast, and Blade of Grass will likely just be on the full album video I compile soon. I think my next post will be something else entirely as I finish up the rest of Mayhem. I've been making these with the idea of how the full album will sound and how the songs go into each other, creating a story. I hope you enjoy this one, and thanks so much for your enthusiasm and support over this 8-bit Mayhem journey!! Have you seen Gaga at Coachella, btw? She was so amazing. 😍🀩😍 (PS. Yes, I have other non-Mayhem Gaga 8-bits I plan to do, so don't worry, even if I start covering other artists again, this won't be the last you hear of my take on Gaga. πŸ’œ)
