Hello there! I make retro remixes of video game music on YouTube. These are mainly 8 Bit NES covers, but I also do 16 Bit SNES/Genesis covers, as well as other retro related remixes, Smash Bros. videos, other music ventures, and SO MUCH MORE. In fact, maybe too much more. I do a lot.
pls send help.
ANYBUTT, let's jump right in.
So why start a Patreon?
I've seen from various comments on my videos and social feeds that people are interested in supporting my music work on YouTube further, usually giving ideas such as selling my music on a digital store such as iTunes. However, this isn't really a path I particularly want to go down, primarily due to copyright reasons, but the other reason being that I would like the availability of my downloads to remain free. I have been producing these kinds of remixes for almost 5 years now as of writing this (yes it's been that long, good grief), and I'm always checking the comments for words of kindness, critiques, ideas and suggestions. These remixes will continue regardless of the success of this Patreon, but this is a great way for you guys to support me in continuing making music and pursuing my other projects, some of which may not be possible without your support.
You've uploaded other types of videos in the past. Any chances of doing more?
You may have seen that in recent times, I have been uploading other content besides remixes, including my own compositions, fighting game content (which is primarily Super Smash Bros. for Wii U videos), and other random things. I usually only upload these kinds of videos as soon as they're done, not sticking to any sort of schedule, as I work on them alongside my freelance projects and my retro remixes. If my work as a musician grows to the point where I have a lot more time, I'll be able to-
So will I get anything in return for pledging?
Yes. Kind of. Basically, I won't be offering rewards like exclusive remixes or timed content, because I don't want to use Patreon in this way. I don't want to gate off content from those who can't pay more than others. There may be people out there who want to support my work, but perhaps can't afford more than others, or might not want to pledge more. In fact, a lot of people out there probably won't want to contribute to the Patreon at all, but it would still be unfair to hide content from those who have supported me so far. The MP3's I provide will always be free, and basically nothing about what I'm doing right now will change. I only want people to pledge because they want to, not because they have to.
Anyway, that's all for now. Thank you for your time, any questions you have you can hit me up on Twitter, @Bulbamike , and please, take a listen.

If my work as a musician grows to the point where I have a lot more time, I'll be able to-
- Work on, upload and enhance the quality of my current projects.
- Upload more bonus videos like Smash Wii U highlights.
- Continue older ongoing series' such as my instrumental covers.
- Start new series' like tutorials, N64 remixes, more in depth and focused Smash Bros. content, and steel drum covers. (One of which you can listen to at the bottom of the page!)
- Have a proper weekly or monthly upload schedule!
- Upgrade all my hardware and software for the projects above, such as plug-ins, cameras, microphones etc.
- Create opportunities for collaborating with other musicians and outsourcing other artists.
- Remove adverts in the future.
