So this geezer FamilyJules7x was like "Do a medley in a week yo." and I was all like "Yeh mayyte." So here's my entry into the competition, an array of tunes from SNES platforming classic Donkey Kong Country. A daunting task at first but once the medley started coming together, more and more ideas were formulating and the whole process started to become a fun experience!

The toughest yet most exhilarating part of making this medley was choosing what songs go into what and how to transition between each one. Had fun making this medley though, I hope I got some of my musicality over through some prog rock ideas. I chose this medley because I was very familiar with the songs (even though Diddy's Kong Quest is my favourite out of the 3 SNES DKC titles.) Real happy with how it all came together.

I hope you enjoy this medley guys! And I'm excited to see what FamilyJules7x and the rest of the judging panel think of this! FamilyJules7x and Artificial Fear are one of a few VGM musicians that inspired me to perform covers on YouTube and I'm thrilled that they'll be in the vicinity of even listening to my work!
