  GXM #53: JP Kellams (ex-Epic Games) on Fortnite Festival, Virtual Concerts & the Future of Music in Games

  Jul 6, 20261h 11m

  The last few years have seen a record number of music collaborations take place between game studios and the music industry, from massive virtual concerts on platforms like Fortnite and Roblox to a growing number of artists like Marshmello and Imagine Dragons setting up their own game studios. But where is the industry heading next? In this episode of GXM, Mat speaks to JP Kellams, former lead producer on Fortnite Festival at Epic Games. They discuss the evolution of music in games, from Fortnite Festival and blockbuster virtual concerts to the resurgence of rhythm games and the future of interactive music experiences. We explore why today's biggest in-game concerts aren't sustainable, the music licensing challenges holding the industry back, the game knowledge barriers facing the music industry, and why the next generation of music experiences in video games will be built around long-term fan engagement rather than one-off events.

  What happens when you build a music game with a diverse range of influences spanning Jon Wick, Kill Bill and Batman Arkham Asylum?

On this week's episode of the GXM Podcast, Mat speaks to the studio's CEO Will Cook to learn more about why the studio set out to create a music-based combat game, their experiences working with labels to license music, and finding a place for Dead as Disco in a rapidly evolving rhythm game market. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Whether you work in the music or games industries or simply enjoy video game music and want to learn more about this area of interest, make sure to give us a listen… …and HIT SUBSCRIBE if you enjoy!
