You may remember Rockit Gaming from such music videos as the tinyBuild E3 press conference musical and Rainbow Six: Siege Outbreak – Sick. I recently received the opportunity to interview Rockit (Russell McKamey) of Rockit Gaming, (Vinny Noose a/k/a Vincent Newsom was not available), which I was super stoked for because I still have those tinyBuild songs in my head. I may sing one of them every time my son talks about Fortnite. Of course, I had no idea that Rockit Gaming has been around for quite some time, writing and performing songs based upon video games.
