What do Pokémon, cancer recovery, and heavy metal have in common? For PokeCello, the answer is everything.
In this heartfelt episode, musician and cancer survivor PokeCello shares how Pokémon Legends: Arceus became a lifeline during recovery and how remixing classic Pokémon music with a cello became a love letter to the community that carried them through. From childhood playground memories to emotional moments with Team Star, this story weaves nostalgia, resilience, and creativity into something unforgettable. We also dive into their viral Area Zero remix, the emotional risks of original compositions, and how a bus ride changed everything she thought she knew about music.
