MTV's Rebel Music - Senegal Episode (coming soon!)

I recently had the honor to work with MTV's Rebel Music series on an Episode in Senegal with my good friends Keur Gui. Working together with my good friend and talented DP Alfonso Bui, we took an approach that combined some standard run&gun verite doc film-making with some higher end trick shooting. The series was produced in Association with my longtime collaborative partner Ben of Nomadic Wax!  

The episode will air later in 2015. In the meantime, here is the official press release for the whole series, and you can explore the the Senegal Episode's interactive website as well. Watch the trailer for the whole series here. 

I will post up more info on the Senegal episode as its release date nears.

New Music Video with Kokayi

Early this past Fall, my good friend Kokayi and I set out to shoot a video for his latest single. A beautiful and simple song, we decided to keep the video the same. We shot slow motion sequences with his son spread out through the city, and then shot Kokayi's parts out on a farm in PG County.

Mini­shoot with Kokayi

Another fun shoot with my good friend Kokayi at his house studio in NE DC. We shot this for the NPR Tiny Desk Concert Series competition.

Music Video shoot with Keur Gui & Kokayi

Had a good time braving the cold to shoot a quick street video with my good friends Keur Gui (Senegal) and Kokayi (DC). We shot at the underpass 'secret spot' in SE DC under 295.

The shoot got profiled in the Washington Post as well. Check it out: http://www.washingtonpost.com/express/wp/2014/03/27/keurgui-crew-kennedy-center/

DC2DK Arts Exchange

Proud to say we at Nomadic Wax wrapped up our latest arts exchange project, spearheaded by DC-artist Kokayi and a DC Commission for the Arts and Humanities Sister-Cities grant. Check out the video, edited by yours truly, and shot by my good friend Alfonso Bui.

Oh, and we produced a mix tape for the project as well. Enjoy!

Audio Documentaries with Nomadic Wax

At Nomadic Wax, our team has been working hard on a series of audio projects we like to call Audio Documentaries. In our case, we are blending the traditional hip hop mixtape format with standard radio journalism to tell stories through music. Take a peak at a few of the one’s we’ve done.
