Check out the OMG Girlz along side of Tiny and T.I. as they introduce their video, "Gucci This" on the 106 and Park stage! They really touched my heart during this interview. I could feel their humble, appreciative spirits. I wish them the best of luck and can't wait to see what their journey has in store for them.

2011-12-30T18:11:00.000-08:00

My rep, Leah Harmony, asked me to get new images of myself done, (apparently the ones I had where used too much, **phish**). Anyone who knows me, knows I rarely take photos. That is why I work BEHIND the camera, LOL. Anyway here is a new image of myself. Others are coming soon :)

I had so much fun on this shoot!!! The guys were awesome to work with! We started our day at 4am in the middle of nowhere, Lancaster, CA to be exact and it was FREEZING!!! I just knew my toes would fall off by the end of the shoot. Anyway, I think we got some really amazing images and I can't wait for everyone to see them. Until then, I will try and hold you over with some behind the scenes

FRIEND: R.I.P. HEAVY D - MAY 24, 1967 – NOVEMBER 8, 2011

2011-11-10T19:54:00.000-08:00

Heavy D was a really good friend of mine yet sadly, we didn't get to know each other until the later years of his life. About a month ago, he came to ATL for the BET Hip Hop Awards and for some reason we kept missing each other. On that Monday, after BET Awards weekend, he texted me and asked me to stop by but I literally had an hour window between my prep to make it to Buckhead and back. I

VIDEO: KOURTNEY HEART FT. SOULJA BOY - MY BOY

2011-10-10T19:01:00.000-07:00

I directed this video a few months back and it was recently released today :D It's from New Orleans native Kourtney Heart ft. Soulja Boy. The song is infectiously titled, "My Boy". I think it's a super cute visual that is sure to garner the youngins attention. We had an incredible post team, Ali and Nuno out of New York who worked day and night to perfect the look and a really great crew who gave

LIFE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2011-10-10T13:07:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I turned twenty something and it was amazing. Not too much, not too little, just right. Although I work in the entertainment industry, I try and keep everything in my life as "non-industry" as possible by surrounding myself with great friends who really help to elevate me. There are a couple of girls missing, but heres to another year. Thank you ladies! The girls and I at

OMG! This shoot was insane!! But aren't they all LOL. Anywho, the video awarded on Saturday and was slated to shoot the following Thursday. The only problem was, we only really had three business days to prep. Now had this been a no brainer production i.e. a quick performance video, that would have been perfectly fine however, it was the video of all videos. A full blow narrative to be exact -

VIDEO: MR SIPP FT. FUTURE - GOING HAM

2011-09-23T10:19:00.000-07:00

This video shoot was insane. Let me explain. We were slated to shoot on Monday. We got a call on Sunday, the day before Monday, as you probably already know thanks to Rebecca Black, stating that one of the artist's Future (see below) had a scheduling conflict and could no longer shoot on Monday. We were politely asked if we could change the entire shoot to the current day. FUTURE AND MR. SIPP

2011-06-20T09:32:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged in FOREVER. Sorry, I've been crazy busy. I just got back from New York last week editing my most recent video, for Jive recording artist Kourtney Heart ft. Soulja Boy. It's a remix to an original song that was previously recorded with, New Orleans native and Cash Money Records artist, Magnolia Shorty, who lost her life sometime last year due to a senseless act of violence. The

Bravo to the parents of this child. I absolutely adore her, she's such a class act!

TV: STEVE HARVEY - DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ

2011-02-08T21:55:00.000-08:00

The blogs have been swarming with public displays of incrimination that Steve Harvey did his ex-wife Mary Harvey incredibly shady, cheating on her and leaving her broke and homeless and truth be told, like many others, I believed it. I use to work with Steve back in 03-04, when I was in radio. Although I developed a relationship with his team, I never really developed a relationship with him. He

UPDATE: Sequoia's Reel 2011

2011-01-31T19:09:00.000-08:00

I have just completed my new reel for 2011. I've decided to include quotes inside of this blog entry from some of the artists, most of them ending with me feeling quite baffled. You will get some, and some will be inside jokes that only people who worked on set will understand, none the less, here they are... JUSTIN BIEBER: Um excuse me, there are four people in there, I can't get in that

VIDEO: OVER BEING SOBER

2011-01-18T15:54:00.000-08:00

This video is completely and totally interesting to me because it is so left field of my normal style. I was approached by Nate Walka's manager, Askia to shoot this clip and had no clue what I was signing myself up for. I figured it was either something interesting or down right shady, when he asked me to meet him pool side at 11pm at night. Now for all of you that don't know, Nate is an

2011-01-18T15:19:00.000-08:00

So somehow since I've moved here two months ago, I have become known as an, "Atlanta Video Director" LOL. That's fine. Check out my interview below from blog site, MusicandModeling.com. It will update you on the things that I've been working on and hopefully inspire you to push forward with your own :D

VIDEO: MARSHA AMBROSIUS - FAR AWAY

2011-01-05T01:41:00.000-08:00

Although this video initially made me uncomfortable, great art will always push you out of your comfort zone, it helped to shed a bit of light on how I view myself as a director. If I can model my career after videos and films that have deep routed substance, I feel that I will have not only accomplished my career goals, but that I've completed life's mission. Great job Marsha and J. Erving for

I really hope this man gets discovered. He deserves a chance.UPDATE: Ted got his break! It was literally overnight, I mean literally. I'm super excited that he'll get a second chance to do what he loves. Sometimes, if deserving, people need it. Gotta love the internet.
