I firmly believe that a picture is worth a thousand streams. In today's digital age, where audiences are bombarded with an endless stream of content and have shorter attention spans than ever before, it’s critical to capture their attention with quality visuals that pack a punch and make them want to hit play. That’s where Band x Brand comes in—a camera in one hand and a design tool in the other—I specialize in creating stunning and vibrant visuals that not only showcase the talent, energy, and passion of live performances, but also help artists and labels stand out from the crowd on social media and beyond. From live show, video set and behind-the-scenes photos, album & single art, to social media graphics and tour posters, I’m here to help you turn up your volume and create something unforgettable.
