Happy New Year! We're kicking things off on my spicy interview show, SPICY GAMERS, with 3 members of the jazz fusion VGM band ‪@underthedt‬ from Portland Oregon! If you've wondered what it takes to host jazz jams, arrange for a 9 piece, or just want to see me down Last Dab XXX, check it out!

I am back from the incredible excitement that is MAGFest! I was more than humbled to meet so many fans of my work and many of you asked if my band was playing! We are entirely at the mercy of YOUR filling surveys and hitting up MAGFest, MAGWest, and other cons to politely suggest they bring us over!

When the appropriate forms go out, we super appreciate not only giving us the boost but other amazing acts BIPOC-led and hungry for action! Humongous thank you to friends who came out to support our show at LOWLANDER and of course those planning to attend Legendary in ORLANDO, FL in February! Check out ‪@OngakuOverdrive‬ for details!

MAGFEST GOERS! I will be kicking off my convention this year playing guitars with GameGrooves' head and shredder Lowlander, at the XP Stage on Thursday at 1PM!

You can expect a lot of the same thunder and metal from my shows as well as a ton of love to Mega Man and more! Otherwise I will be taking it way easier, but feel free to say hello!

🤘Start the year with NEW METAL MUSIC 🤘

My original instrumental metal track and finale to the "Weathered" Trilogy, HURRICANE, is out on Bandcamp 🎵! This story begins with The Storm and moved onto Monsoon, and ends of course with the weather disaster my North Carolinians are all too familiar with.

Look forward to a full playthrough, TABS if enough people want them, and maybe even part of our live setlist! I plan to put together a limited CD/album run of these originals and others as well which will go on streaming soon (just remember 1 digital Bandcamp sale supports musicians more than 10,000 streams on most platforms!)

Outta here with algorithm-touging recap numbers, THIS is my 2025 recap! This was an incredible year for experiences and opportunities, things that metrics just can't share, and all of you watching my music videos, buying CDs, seeing my band's concerts, or just enjoying my Discord or streams, have been so important for that!

It isn't an easy time for anybody, but keeping music a community and not a private club is so important. As I always say, reach out if you ever want to know how I make anything.

🍗HAPPY THANKSGIVING🦃

2025 has been both challenging, and incredibly rewarding. This year facing a ton of uphill climbs, I've been lucky to play 7 conventions/shows with my band Prog XP (so far), collaborate in person with several friends visiting around, and even got to collaborate WITH Mintrocket on their Dave the Diver April Fools joke this year officially! I am beyond grateful to have met who I've met in the game/music space, and to receive the opportunities I've gotten so far!
What are YOU extra thankful for in 2025?


If you want to be part of my adventures, share some of your own, my Metal Kitchen DISCORD invite is in the comments!
