The Deku Trio

Mellow jazz covers of video game music

The Deku Trio is GameChops’ in-house mellow video game jazz band, led by pianist Rob Araujo and producer Chris Davidson. The project creates sophisticated, listenable jazz arrangements of video game music, with rich reharmonizations and fresh directions for nostalgic melodies.

It stars three animated avatars inspired by The Legend of Zelda – Princess Keys on piano, Lincoln Beats on drums, and G. Dorf on upright bass – with artwork from comic artist Riana Dorsey and concept illustrator Christian Benavides.
