Spotify: Beat School

 

We led video production for Spotify's “Beat School In 60s,” a series that dives into the making of a standout track by a featured artist.

We got the opportunity to work with Adekunle Gold, Mannywellz and Xenia Manasseh — organizing shoots with creative teams across LA and NY to bring the production to life.

Beat School is an artist-first social franchise that seeks to bridge-build and amplify what’s next in African music between the continent and the North American market.

There’s so much more to the scene than Afropop and Afrobeats, and this series gives these rising icons the opportunity to lift the veil off their hottest track.

In our latest production for Spotify Mannywellz, Xenia Menasseh, and Adekunle Gold share their inspirations, aesthetics, and unexpected stories behind their hottest tracks to reveal what makes their music cross borders.
