It’s becoming a fantastic trend to see video game vocalists getting more spotlight in today’s industry. Donna Burke, who has been the vocalist on several well-known titles such as Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Silent Hill 2, among others in those franchises has broken out on her own and is being featured on a collection of game and anime music classics done in a classy jazz style.
Burke founded the GANIME JAZZ quintet in 2016 and has mostly focused on live performances. Now, GAME + ANIME = GANIME JAZZ is the quintet’s first studio album features 12 jazz-infused tracks, including several fan-favorites.
I hope that fans’ interest in videogames and anime leads to a newfound appreciation of jazz. Although I’m well-known for my videogame ballads, I want to take this opportunity to share my passion for jazz with my fans all around the world. – Donna Burke
GAME + ANIME = GANIME JAZZ releases today on Bandcamp in digital and physical formats. Burke will also be performing as a part of the Metal Gear In Concert tour in Los Angeles (Oct. 10), New York (Oct. 13), and Paris (Oct. 28).
