Sexyy Red: Bow Bow Bow
(Booty Meat)
Music performance, interview, photography, and TikTok videos
Radar is Spotify’s global, quarterly, owned performance series that champions emerging talent. The look gets re-skinned to reflect the style, aesthetic, and wishes of each performer. The original, repeatable approach was developed by the great minds at Grand Crew, who tapped me to art direct for Sexyy Red’s Radar performance.
In this edition of RADAR, we crafted ‘Red’s World’ - an homage to the art direction of Hype Williams and 2k music videos, with a hint of James Turrell inspired gradient accents.
In answering the brief created by Spotify. I developed set and wardrobe directions, worked with a production designer, photographer, and the GC creative director to meet the needs of the project.
Rendering
Reality
I used Midjourney and Photoshop AI to develop and iterate on the stage design. Then, I worked with the production designer and ECD to bring it to life.
