I started in music video production over 12 years ago first doing music videos for independent artists in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, but after my 4th “indie” music video I had my first major music video for U-God of the Wu-Tang Clan which aired on B.E.T’s Rap City.
I got into music video production because I would see music videos on TV made with high budgets that turned out crappy. I would always say “I could do way better with a lower budget”. So I put my money where my mouth was, brought a camera and an editing computer and 17 music videos later the rest is history.
