While a small number of video game composers go on to achieve great fame thanks to their work in the industry, there are countless others who receive little to no attention at all .

A talented individual who’s career has been often hindered by the poor quality of the games he composed music for, so such that despite his considerable talent as a composer, his work is regularly overlooked in favor of other, more well known composers who simply had the good fortune to work on high profile releases.
