I recently realised that the Artists Testimonial page on my website needed an update and, seeing a wall of male composer/producer faces staring back at me, decided to contact 3 of my favourite female composers to ask them why they like using The Unfinished sounds. www.theunfinished.co.uk/artists/

Happy International Womens Day! So many amazing women are composing or have composed music for video games. Let us know your favourite themes composed by women. #VGM ❤️🎮🎶
