ARTIST BRANDING

Various artists.
2018_24

In the past few years I’ve guided a selection of Sony’s signed artists by developing their visual and brand identity. Together with a great team of photographers, directors and designers we have created press photography, album artworks, social media content and brand activations.

Artists I have worked with include A Tribe Called Quest, DJ Khaled, Nielson, Palm Trees, Martin Garrix and many others.

A Tribe Called Quest X Shoe

Celebrating The Tribe’s latest release ‘We got it from here... Thank you 4 your service’, Sony joined forces with local graffiti legend (and big Tribe fan) Shoe. Drawing inspiration from their music, he painted a mural to honour their influence on hiphip-culture and thus, his own work.

Klangstof - Merch

Klangstof’s EP: ‘the noise you make is silent’ sounded lighter and more direct. Something they clearly reflected in the design of their artworks and pgotography. I was asked to help out making merch.

The gradient and dreamy synthesizer sounds inspired me, and reminded me of flowing colours and ever changing gradients in silkscreen prints. And there was the concept :-) A series of 300 unique gradient shirts.

DJ Khaled - #Grateful

The briefing? Host a lucious party and introduce the nouveau riche of Hollands HipHop to the world of DJ Khaled. We ended up rebuilding the Pool area of the Amstel Hotel, by adding loads of jungle elements, flowers, Belaire champagne, Hennessy cognac and woman, loads of woman. DJ Khaled himself was #Grateful reposted and we made the news.
