as a fan of music first, nothing beats seeing your work on the big stage. • we created 16 original visuals that premiered at @tomorrowland for @avalanrokston / a full visual world with its own mythology: the sun, the moon, portals, and all things spheres. • one of the toughest creative challenges? The spheres couldn’t just be natural. they had to be split in half. So how do you split a sun and still make it feel beautiful and believable? • took months of late-night renders, back-and-forths, and pure obsession to get it right. • appreciate everyone who helped bring this to life. • Phase 1 complete 👽 More to come 👀 • prod co: @badasskid.tv executive producer: @elication artist: @avalanrokston creative director: @elication CG: @timcet artist management: @huzur

build in silence. celebrate in public. ☝️ 2+ years in the making. countless late nights, rewrites, edits, restarts. but we finally here; today we launch @illicit.behavior and @jackaverymusic into the world. this shit took everything. time, energy, money, patience, doubt, belief. nothing about this was easy. No handouts. Just vision and follow-through. along the way, people showed up. some promised more than they delivered. some came through.. let us record in their homes, made intros, gave us their time. to the ones who stayed: thank you. I promise it won’t be boring 😈

June 19 is always a special day for me! I grew, I changed, I became different. BUT the most beautiful humans in my life stayed. I’m grateful to be alive with all of you. Truly every day a miracle. This year has taught me that hard things don’t get easier, you get stronger. AND if you show up every day, and fall in love with your journey, you find peace. True flow. That is the magic of life, this year. ♥️ and as always whatever you do always fuck shit up..⚡️🚀

Rinzen Live at Trona Pinnacles Today is a really special day. My first-ever concert film in collaboration with @elication is out now Drop a 🚀 and I’ll send you the link to watch it A few months ago, I came to Éli and told him I wanted to make a concert video for my album, but to elevate it from anything else I’d seen on YouTube I wanted to bring a more cinematic feeling. To have the visuals tell a story as well. He took the concept and created something insane On the day of the shoot, I was very nervous. Not only did I bring all my studio gear to the desert, but also I decided to do a hybrid live performance using only music I’d written Something I’d never before… So much could go wrong. But by the grace of god, everything worked. And I’m so happy with the result. Most special of all, my Dad was on set that day and got to see me perform live for the first time ❤️ A very special thank you to Éli Sokhn for all his hard work bringing this to life. And to @thisneverhappened and @lane8music for hosting it on YouTube The full video is online now. Link in bio.

directing a high speed car chase can be nerve wrecking and requires lots of planning. luckily @rivalsons boys were super game and natural desert gangsters. now you can check how the whole thing went down in the carousel 👉 • @rivalsons - nobody wants to die 1. storyboards / final 2. car chase live directing 3. car to car filming Credits: directed by @elication produced by @badasskid.tv / @souqilaith DP: @brendan.dp 1stAD: @ctpredaportraits #filmmakersworld #filmmaking #onsetlife #filmdirector #storyboard

🚨 This one is hip hop meets pop — a reimagined track and visual for @fatjoe 2000s hit “lean back” — I remember watching this video as a kid in Lebanon on MTV and never one day dreamed that I will be officially creating what this would be 2 decades later - Voodoo with @shabmusicofficial & @fatjoe
