I had the honour of co-directing 'Jannis' alongside the brilliant film videographer DANE. This track is a true gem from the album 'The Good The Bad And The Ugly' by Manchester's own RIO.
Our mission was clear: to shape a visual tale that captures RIO's evolution from a young observer of parental choices to a grown man who embraces the weight of tough decisions. These choices are fuelled by his commitment to securing abundant opportunities for his sons as they mature.
With my prior experience of co-producing RIO's sold-out '𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗽 (2016)' concert, a pivotal moment in his musical journey, it felt like destiny to take on this project. My aim was simple yet profound: to honour his family legacy through meticulous attention and heartfelt introspection.
Witness the compelling narrative of 'Jannis' on GRM Daily.
