Working For You

Bringing unmatched creativity to your projects

Intuitive Compositions

Writing original and stuck-in-your-head music for movies/TV/games is my forte, be it soundscapes, expressive symphonic pieces, or the gnarliest of metal anthems.

Professional Audio/Video Production

Mixing professional-sounding and clear music in a humble but formidable home studio, leaving guitars crunching, vocals somber, and no second of sound tarnished. Video projects done in high-resolution, cutting-edge visual effects, and attention to every detail, every frame.

Vibrant Performances

With guitar, bass, piano, synth, vocal/voice over, and a passion for versatility, the world of music styles, textures, and genres is within reach.

BIO

My name is Ro Panuganti and I am a driven creative - Music, Videography and everything in between.

Music I am an active recording and performing musician, hosting the majority of my works on Youtube. I am predominantly an electric guitarist and also play bass guitar, piano, sitar, tablas, and am a vocalist/voice actor. I am an experienced arranger of popular music from video games, movies, television, composer for a variety of works, and a mixing engineer. My music is inspired by classic rock, blues, soundtracks, progressive metal, and I work with an array of artists across the globe in a variety of projects including the Multiplayer Charity. My work spans hundreds of covers and licensed albums, has reached Nickelodeon and indie games, and I have produced videos with over 1 million views. Working on music and music videos is an incredible way to combine skills, unique talented individuals, and make the most remarkable projects possible.

Videography As a music video producer, I employ newer editing styles, elaborate visual FX, and constantly study new camera techniques to make more interesting products. Having edited videos since I was ten, I am comfortable with narrative-driven works, performance videos, filming band/live events, and more abstract short films. To recreate and immerse viewers, I use 3D Compositing, 3D Motion-Tracking, Professional Color Grading and more advanced video effects for my projects. I am just as comfortable working on 4K nature panoramas as I am keying out footage to create a digital atmosphere. Working with clients and collaborators, I produce music videos that highlight musical performances and instruments as well as narrative-heavy stories.
