About Cody Matthew Johnson

It is an overwhelming joy to be actively dedicating my career to the advancing development and advocacy of video games and interactive audio. I am the CEO, Creative Director, and Co-Founder of Emperia Group. Founded in 2019, Emperia Sound and Music is a full stack audio solutions company specialized in interactive media. "Emperia" has expanded into new divisions vertically integrated across sound and music for interactive media - beginning with conceptual pre-production through production, post launch support, and music rights management through Emperia Music Group and Emperia Records. As a creative director and music producer for video games, film, television, and musical artist I've worked on titles, such as: Trek to Yomi, Bayonetta 3, Resident Evil 2, Synced: Off Planet, Devil May Cry 5, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Lost Soul Aside, Asus ROG Saga, Crossfire: Legends, Honor of Kings, T3 Arena; television series such as TNT's "Claws" and Sony Playstation's "Powers"; and my music can be heard internationally in thousands of television series episodes, documentaries, feature films, and movie trailers.My creative approach is typically irreverent, unapologetic, and blurs the boundaries of conventional media music - I like loud drums, fat synths, and aggressive guitars. Music for work on titles like Trek to Yomi, Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, and Quantaar have garnered critical acclaim, live-performances, panels, presentations, workshops, and awards (The Game Awards, SXSW, Game Audio Network Guild Awards, NAVGTR Awards)I served as Operations Manager of the 501(c)(4) nonprofit Game Audio Network Guild. In addition, I am the Producer and Host of the annual Game Audio Network Guild Awards, the largest game audio awards event each year, as well as Editor in Chief and creator of the organization's quarterly magazine, The Audio Source. My work in and out of the entertainment industry has led to incredible collaborations with musical artists, such as deathcore pioneers Suicide Silence, Michael Barr of metal core band Volumes, Sick Puppies' frontman and musical artist Shim, Porno for Pyros guitarist Peter DiStephano, and more. I've had the pleasure of lecturing and speaking at video game conferences, technology conferences, and universities, such as: PAX East, GameSoundCon, SuperMAGfest, Tokyo Game Show, Berklee College of Music and more.
