harry connick jr. - true love campaign

Nominated as Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 2021 Grammy’s

As the creative agency for the launch of the new album True Love by Harry Connick JR, we were in charge of all creative direction, social artwork production and directing content. As well as a music video, we shot a series of monologues with Harry as part of a series of ‘about the album’ promotional videos and behind the scenes footage.

“This is one of my favorite Cole Porter songs and one of his most popular…. it’s actually a sad song, but I had so much fun making the video I was smiling the whole time… I love the idea of the music triggering the light bulbs…. I had never done anything like that before so it was super cool to try” - Harry Connick JR.

JANELLE MONAE FOR SPOTIFY - PHOTOGRAPHY by Ray Fiasco

Even after Black History Month has passed, the celebration of Black History should not end. That’s why Spotify launched Black History is Happening Now , to celebrate and amplify the voices of black artists, creators, and organizations year-round. GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter and actress Janelle Monáe officially kicked off Black History Is Happening Now as the first artist to takeover the platform through playlists featuring artists who have influenced her music, artists to watch for, and a short film on what Afrofuturism means to her. Directed by Daisy Zhou, the documentary film on the history of Afrofuturism was filmed in London, with BTS photography provided on the day by our very own Ray Fiasco.

Editorial Programming

Curating an unrivalled team of music writers we have worked in partnership with Nation of Billions on over a 1000 feature stories, music and gig reviews and cultural commentary. The online platform has become the essential destination for industry tastemakers and music aficionados. Nation of Billions have featured rising artists like Dave, J Hus, Nadia Rose, Jorja Smith early and before they've been signed or co-signed by the likes of global superstars like Drake. Nation of Billions editorial photography captures the essence of the culture and many of the editorial shoots have been licensed for publication in books, print magazines, press pr and cover artwork for musicians. Our editorial writers amplify the voices of creatives within culture. We don't write as critics we write as fans of the music, film, books and art. Our themed editorial story series developed for Nation of Billions from #17OnTheFrontline, #AfroNation to #StyleNation are carefully curated to create conversations. Our contributing writers have established a respected voice and have been enlisted to write official artist biographies and contributed to magazines like Vevo DSCR.
