art direction / production

In a sea of male R & B groups, Ol' Skool, Keith Sweats group from St. Louis, stands out with their old school sound, hence the groups name, Ol' Skool. Finding themselves thrown out there with the other million or so male R & B groups, they decided to step it up a notch with their sophomore debut ... the first single released was entitled, "Only 1".

Love this missive ... To create within a very nice budget, from concept to completion, outfits that had an island feel ... for the video was going to be shot in the Bahamas ... yea baby! Worked very closely with the groups attorney, who actually insisted that the project be mine, based upon the buzz he had heard from other label folks about the kid they called kebo ... whatever works. Two weeks later and 3 days in the Bahamas, I was scared to death because all the custom made clothes that I had with me had never been tried on by the group ... nor had I measured them ... for that matter, I don't know who had. Luckily the clothes all fit and things were a success ... take a look at some of the behind the scenes footage and the beautiful Harbors & North Eleuthera Islands.
