Music Video LinksArtist Biography
Available in:
Max Gleason, better known by his stage name of Smooth McGroove, is a YouTuber known for recording a cappella versions of video game music. His videos feature multiple videos of himself, recording each part, often complemented by a video of the relevant game being played and the appearance of his cat Charl.
Career:
Gleason's musical career began when he was eleven years old and began playing the drums, and he eventually provided private music lessons to support himself. In college, he began recording some MIDI tracks and posting them on MySpace, but never got much recognition for those. Later, he and some friends of his started a rock band, and in addition to being the drummer, he did the mixing. The band fell apart, and a few years later, he decided to do more music. He began rapping about video games, and he gradually moved to a capella music.
He has recorded music from many popular video game series, including The Legend of Zelda,Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasy,Mega Man, and Street Fighter. His videos have garnered millions of views, and he has left his job giving private music lessons to focus fully on his a cappella videos. When asked about working with more modern tracks, he sided against it, stating that "music for video games today serve a more atmospheric role with less of a focus on memorable melodies". He noted the Elder Scrolls series as an exception.
A Starbound patch known as "v. Enraged Koala" released in early 2014 adds a microphone feature with sounds from Gleason.
In 2014, Gleason provided narration for an episode of the video game webseries Did You Know Gaming? covering the F-Zero series.
Personal life:
Gleason currently lives in Oklahoma City with his cat Charl and his wife.
