Robert Glasper / recordsRelease team

Four releases with distinct stories and editions.

I worked with the release team across four Robert Glasper records. Each needed its own identity and physical edition while remaining legible as part of his wider catalog.

Music / films and content productionSelected public work

Content for releases, residencies and live events.

I develop concepts with release teams and labels, manage shoots and produce material artists can use to introduce a record, announce a show and document what happened on stage. The films below show specific examples and my credited role in each.

Artist sites built around each artist’s work.

Today, I use AI to build around artists’ own photography, film and music. Lalah Hathaway’s Made in Chicago site turns a supplied photograph into seven navigational objects leading to listening, video, touring, merchandise and contact.

The Second Son company site and the artist projects below each have their own scope. Elena Pinderhughes and Qmillion are presented as separate artist collaborations.
