My name is Ro Panuganti, I'm an Indian-American guitarist, songwriter, producer, and I work on the nerdiest, shreddiest, and wildest projects from game soundtracks to hard rock anthems to directing game trailers and promos.

The fun thing about doing this music thing for so long, is I'm pulling ideas from a 12 year old collab for our Legendary concert arrangements (they're almost all brand new for us btw). That collab has two much younger lads just throwing 100 layers of guitars at a Zelda song hoping it'd sound djenty

Forget that its a VGM cover album of one of my favorite soundtracks of all time; the creativity of the arrangements alone makes this album worthy of high praise. This one rips.
