ABOUT ME
About Me
My name is Mike Wright. Over the course of my life there have been two absolute constants, music and video games. No matter the current fashion/unfashionable trends I was following, my physical condition, or my sleep cycle (which probably contributed to these two constants), I would write music and play games almost every day. Then one day the Responsibility Fairy descended on me and said, "You gotta get a real job ya bum!" (for those that haven't met this person feel lucky). I began thinking how can I move into a career where I can combine my two largest passions! "Think Mike! There has to be a way for you to be involved with music and video games at the same time!" Then like a battering ram to the small intestine it hit me. "I'll make music FOR video games!!" I shouted this out my front door, to the displeasure of my neighborhood.Flash forward to current times and that is indeed what I am doing. If you've got something that needs music, shoot me a message! Check back frequently for new samples!
