World of WarCrafts: The musical stylings of Ember Isolte » WOW ...

World of WarCrafts spotlights art and creativity by WoW players, including fan art, cooking, comics, cosplay, music, fan fiction and more. Sample the whole spectrum on ourWoW page.

Last week, we talked aboutrebuilding audio found in World of Warcraft; this week, weve got audio rebuilding of an entirely different kind. Rather than giving in-game music and sounds a revamp, todays guest takes modern day music and rewrites the lyrics to form parodies with a uniquely WoW twist. Shes been writing and producing parodies for quite some time now –Shut Up and Grind, a parody of Rihannas Shut Up and Drive, was uploaded to YouTube on July 21, 2009.

Exactly two years and plenty of songs later, the bubbly and ever-charming Ember Isolte is still busily creating music parodies — for WoW, and for other games as well. From the incredibly catchy Ninja Raiders to her newest release, Boomkin, Embers done nothing but improve in leaps and bounds. Its crafting of an entirely different kind, and we recently had the distinct pleasure of sitting down and having a chat with Ember about music, lyrics, ideas and of course, World of Warcraft.

World of WarCrafts: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? How long have you been involved in music — what got you interested in it?

Ember Isolte: Ive been singing ever since … well, probably before I could even speak real words! Ive just always liked to sing along with the radio, CDs, runescape shop and the occassional karaoke with my family. I sang in a few talent shows growing up and joined my middle school choir in the sixth grade. And actually, my fifth grade talent show was filmed andput on YouTube — yep, thats a little Ember.

When I was growing up, I never thought about becoming a professional singer as an adult because I was raised with the mindset of It wont pay the bills. Even the thought of calling myself a singer didnt cross my mind until my eighth grade graduation came around. I was asked by the principal of my school to sing at the graduation ceremony because I was kind of their go-to girl for performing at a few previous parent-teacher functions.

So I sang Whitney Houstons The Greatest Love Of All in front of all of my peers, and the social repercussions embedded Im a singer into my brain forever. I swear, theres not a single signature in my eighth grade yearbook that doesnt somehow refer or relate to my singing at graduation. Even years later, throughout high school, my peers still called me the singer. So if anything got me interested in it, it was the fact that everyone in my life knew that I could sing.
