One Degree of Byron
He's the biggest of the four I booked on the show. The hardest of all episodes to put together. We were scrambling up to the last minute to get things cleared, multiple cancelled shoot dates, last minute ideas, too much to list. Enjoy...
Dope album, get it here.
As you’ve probably noticed I had a lot of artists featured on this show **patting myself on the back**. Out of 8 artists featured in the series, I had half of them (Melanie Fiona, Kid Cudi, Ryan Leslie, & Hal).
Hal is the newest of the bunch. No album, no single, no video just pure talent and presence. After watching this episode you can see that this kid’s a star. This was a fun one to work, unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to do one of the shoots with him. I was away on vacation and of all the business trips I would’ve loved was this one. The Tourism Board of Barbados (Hal’s hometown) actually paid for the crew to fly to Barbados to shoot Hal’s ‘day in the life’ segment. DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!! I LOVE Barbados, flying fish sandwiches, Bank’s beer, and the best (& only) barracuda I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating.
Back to Hal, this dude is amazing. He's one of those guys you love hangin with and throwing back a couple beers and shots of dark rum. I really hope his label does him justice and gets the world to notice his talent. I had the pleasure of listening to some early work which I KNOW will blow your socks off. Follow him on twitter.
His full episode on Facebook here (glad he ripped it ;-)
