Scenes From a Music Video Shoot

for a single on the new record

Hello all!

The last few weeks have been beautifully busy as I start gearing up for new album release and summer touring. We have shot two music videos, one of which entailed me dancing more than I ever have. I love dancing so much and every time I do something like this for work I wonder why I am not doing it more for general life enjoyment.

Dancers are incredible and I will always maintain that they as artists have the most direct line to the universe.

I am always a little nervous performing with professional dancers but I have found that it is the perfect amount of empowering and inspiring if your choreographer (bless them) can meet you were you’re at and you are allowed to just do what you can and then switch to whatever comes naturally while said dancers handle the actual choreography.

Just a snippet from one of our rehearsals:

AMAZING DANCERS I can’t wait for you to see them in action: Matty Barry, Zach Jot, Jin Lee Baobei, Mindy Ng.

Absolute dream creative team: Sarah Jaffe (cinematographer) Alana Lowe (producer) Linda Mai Green (director,also made the video for Marrow) Jas Lin (choreographer)

In between takes I asked the dancers to help me film a birthday video for my friend’s six year old. This is not the whole song as I wanted to keep it special for the kid, also you know how the rest goes.

Hair and make up with Carla Farjado. Hand tied top by one of my absolute favorite lines Kaarem.
