Since our artist is inspired by urban sounds and landscapes, much of the material I have been inspired by is related to this. Street art and graffiti are the primary forms of art that have been influential in my thinking, specifically the art of Jean-Michel basquiat and Banksy.
The vibrancy and roughness of Basquiat's work is something that I would love to capture in my music video, and since he had a huge influence on the styling of graffiti, it shouldn't be too difficult to find something similarly exuberant and colourful. Banksy's street paintings are similarly a staple of street art, with the way they incorporate a unique method of using stencils and the humour he manages to fit into the images, although usually with a political undertone.
The fashion that has inspired me most is the streetwise, casual clothing that is currently popular in London, such as tracksuits and trainers by brands like Adidas and Nike. This urban style of fashion will hopefully identify our artists as from London, and will make them more relatable to their target audience.
