Insaneintherain

"The Smooth Jazz Man"
Carlos is a well-accomplished Jazz musician based in Washington state who currently focuses on original compositions. He began making saxophone and piano covers of mostly video game songs on YouTube at a young age and had gained a following over the years for covering many popular soundtracks and songs from primarily Nintendo games. This culminated to him studying at Berklee College of Music for four years and starting a music career in the video game industry. In January 2021, he had a spell of burnout that caused him to formally resign from being a regular content creator. In the interim, he pursued in advancing his musical career in the VGM community and industry. He worked on composing for a few games such as Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane and Breeze in the Clouds (among others). He's also provided saxophone for games like Chicory, Celeste, and A Hat in Time (the latter is for an unused/bonus track). Post-burnout, he announced his return to making videos in October 2023 with a different focus and perspective than he did when he was burnt out, intentially focusing on his original compositions/VGM as well as covers. Needless to say, he has touched the hearts of many and continues to do so to this day.

In the past (his first cover era), he had collabed with now-TRG friends Adrisaurus, Sab_Irene, FamilyJules, ToxicxEternity, and The8BitDrummer. He has also collabed with countless others in the VGM scene, including the likes of ThunderScott, Joe Zieja (voice of Fire Emblem's Claude von Reigan and the Star Fox Zero anime version of Fox McCloud) and groups like The 8-Bit Big Band.

After his initial retirement, he's released an album of original compositions called "Insaneintherain", which included new recordings of his first original songs made during the cover era and new ones made for the album.
