Jay Wedge
GAME DESIGNER & MUSICIAN
ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Jay Wedge, a Brisbane based games developer and session musician. My journey and love for video games and music came at a very early age when discovering classic titles and soundtracks from games like Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy and the Mario series of games. These remarkable titles at first play stirred something inside of me and blessed me with a lifelong passion to play and wanting to create my very own masterpiece for future generations to enjoy. My Passion has further grown as both the industry itself and gaming technologies have advanced, dawning the age of virtual reality.
​
My plans for the future are to gain as many skills and tools as possible to make myself the perfect candidate for employment within the industry. After gaining these skills and experience my true goal is to start my own indie gaming studio and start the development of my very own virtual reality game. Not only designing all things with the game but composing for games also.
Along with my passion for games is my love of all things music with over 15 years working as a professional multi-instrumentalist session musician on various projects and tours around the world. I have skills in both traditional and digital composition that ensure all audio is of top quality.
