Stepping out of our comfort zone, we did a video interview with Grant Kirkhope, the legendary video game composer. Known for his music compositions on Banjo-Kazooie, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Yooka-Laylee, Mario+Rabbids and many other games.
We had the privilege to talk with Grant about the huge reveal of Banjo in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We also spoke about Yooka-Laylee and the impossible lair, his thoughts on Cadence Of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer feat. The Legend Of Zelda, his favourite Yorkshire tea, Super Mario Maker 2 and so much more.
You can check out our interview below.
That’s absolutely awesome! Kirkhope is an amazing talent.
Grant is an absolutely amazing person and a great laugh
Indeed. His humor, and that of the whole crew involved in the Banjo games, makes it easy to understand how those two titles are so witty and fun.
