So I’ve been making music with Peter for decades. We ended up marrying sisters from a different a cappella group, and now we’re all related. He and I met singing in an a cappella group at the University of Virginia (the Academical Village People). Riegel: The Scanlan songs are a collab between myself and my brother-in-law Peter Habib, who is a genius pop music producer. As for myself - I’m a child of the ‘80s and ‘90s - so my mind always goes to Bon Jovi, En Vogue, Boyz II Men, No Doubt, Janet Jackson… you know, the classics. Need a phat 808 beat? Anything is possible for Vox Machina’s favourite bard. Need a horn section? Sure! Scanlan can conjure one. And because it’s magical music, anything is possible.
Riegel: Like me, Scanlan is a fan of all kinds of musical genres, so Peter and I wrote him rock ballads, hip hop jams, country songs, whatever suited the moment. Gizmodo: Who are Scanlan’s musical influences and inspirations? The Scanlan songs turned out to be one of my favourite aspects of the show. We wanted the songs to be irreverent, cheeky, and fun, but also we strived to make legitimately catchy tunes that folks wouldn’t mind hearing again and again. Those songs are so gosh-darn expensive! So we took it as an opportunity to create brand new musical moments and distinguish our show from other adult animated series. Sam Riegel: When we set out to make the series, we quickly realised Scanlan was not going to be able to sing top-40 hits to activate his musical magic, like I did on the Twitch stream. Linda Codega, Gizmodo: How did you write these songs?
