First twist, I was supposed to be heading back to the states and by our luck I stumbled upon an old friend. During my prior trip I had spoken to this artist named Jon Myuzik and actually told him about creating a song that had worldwide appeal. Basically the track had to be in English because it speaks to people everywhere. We have wonderful and talented musicians but at times we need to market those gifts and that requires English.
I grew up in Tanzania so listening to music I didn't understand never bothered me, on the other hand people in other places don't have so much patience. Before I knew it, I changed my flight in order to accommodate this shoot that was scheduled for two days. Of course it took way longer but who's counting, we had fun. We tried a lot of different locations, some made it and others did not.
This was Jon's first video and he was ecstatic about this new track coming out. Prior to my knowledge he was on radio creating hype for the VIDEO and the pressure was growing. At first I attempted to create a story-like video but it failed horribly.
Each night had it's own twists & turns. We worked but still had room for fun. My sister had seen me work rigorously with this group and everyday I came back home in the morning tired from exhaustion. No assistants, no team, just me, the camera and the artist. |
We were supposed to be shootin in this Bentley but it's a long long story. We made it work tho! |
