Director Statement

The journey creating the music video for NO MAIN CHARACTER began with a simple question: I reached out to Bailey Perrie one day and asked if I could create her next music video. When she said yes, it marked the start of an incredible collaboration.

From the outset, I wanted to tell a story that not only showcased Bailey’s artistry as a singer, dancer and actor, but also explore themes of perseverance, identity, and ambition. The video reflects the journey of a struggling actress navigating challenges while working toward her dreams—a narrative that resonates with anyone chasing a creative path.

I approached the project with a focus on combining the lyrics with visual storytelling, and using cinematic elements to connect with viewers on an emotional level. This collaboration with Bailey was about more than just creating a music video; it was about crafting a piece of art that feels personal and universally relatable.

Sharing this work with audiences is an opportunity to celebrate the artistry and collaborative spirit that brought it to life. I hope it inspires viewers as much as it inspired me to create it.
