Diwa de Leon loves video game music so much that he became String Player Gamer, made tons of viral VGM videos, and emigrated from the Philippines to the United States. String Player Gamer has accomplished a lot and now he will be playing this Saturday on Virtua Ongaku VII. We talk about all that, love for Nintendo, the legal tightrope of creating VGM covers, and more! Find more of String Player Gamer at stringplayergamer.com. Virtua Ongaku VII, featuring String Player Gamer and more, is on Saturday, January 30th at twitch.tv/ongakuoverdrive.
