The Game Music of Brett Heatley, aka HeatleyBros of Los Angeles, has been a staple of the internet for over a decade. HeatleyBros crystalized the nostalgic retro game sound and his music has been heard in millions of videos totaling many billions of views. His catalog has been used in countless games, with three times charting #1 on the IOS App Store and Apple Arcade, most notably in his ongoing work for the handheld phenomenon “Retro Bowl.” HeatleyBros’ desire to continuously push the boundaries of possibility has led him to his first major collaboration with longtime friend Mikey Kettinger of Mikey’s Imaginary Friends of San Diego. Mikey’s Imaginary Friends an alternative/indie project that began in Florida in 2006. It has been featured around the USA on radio, television, films and performances that combine experiential art with music performance. Their new album ‘What This Art Is About’ is a bold take on Indie Pop and Alternative, built from exceptional songwriting of Mikey paired with the world-building imagination of HeatleyBros. Their complementary combination of skills unite in a truly original sonic experience, challenging the listener to follow their heart, make art, and build community. Early versions of their collaborative songs and its first music video for ‘Little Less Hard’ have already been heard and viewed tens of thousands of times. “Mikey has always walked his talk. When he speaks on something, he means it. He proves it to you again and again that he means it. The (music) he made inspired me to make music. That’s why it’s such an honor to team up with him on this album, to amplify his message. He’s the right messenger. This last year was the hardest year for me personally, but the music and messages we created in this album helped me get through it, and I believe they can help everyone” -Brett Heatley Coincidentally, Heatley and Kettinger were basketball and football teammates in high school, and classmates at Florida State University. Now they are both pursuing their dreams of living a creative existence in California. They will perform new music at Mikey Kettinger Art Studio on Saturday, 11/16, at 7:30 p.m. The show is free and open to all ages. ‘What This Art Is About’ by HeatleyBros x Mikey’s Imaginary Friends is available for streaming now on Apple Music and Spotify.
