“IN PROGRESSIVE MUSIC, EVERYTHING COUNTS.

ROCK, BLUES, CLASSICAL, JAZZ—

I WANT TO DO IT ALL.”

Ro Panuganti is a progressive rock and metal music, best known for his extended range of guitar work and expressive hair-metal inspired leads. He has an extensive library of original music and covers spanning across video games, television, anime, and more. Ro’s signature guitar sound has also found its way into many projects, including indie games like Bacon Man: An Adventure and SuperEpic.

Online, Ro is a very active presence and frequently performs live concerts for events like VGMTogether, Ongaku Overdrive, and Zeldathon. Additionally, he has produced even more music through his collaborative work with the VGM community and groups like GameLark, GameGrooves, and Pixel Mixers.

For those into the live scene, Ro has performed live at ConBravo, MAGFest, and recently visited VGMCon as a headliner! You can often hear him give advice on music production, video game cover remixes, and collaborating in panels as well.

Ro has also left a large visual impression—as an editor/videographer, he has lent his services to many musicians in game audio, and continuously pushes the envelope of what a music video can be.

Through it all, Ro’s passion has always lied with bombastic electric guitar work and visually exciting music videos.
