Director Statement

I created this doc series because music fans always get to hear thw music of their favorite artists, but never get a true deeper understanding of who the artist truly is. I wanted to take my knowledge as a music executive and the numerous artists that I've worked with and bring them to the screen through culture, food, lifestyle, and performance. Something that has never been done like this!
