Shoot: Behind the Scenes Music Video Shott Artist: Kardinal Offishall Song: Baby It’s You Director: Cazhmere Location: Chic Hotel, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Last week I had the pleasure of being invited to shoot behind the scenes for Kardinal Offishall’s Music Video for his latest single “Baby It’s You”.
I met some great people, got to ride shotgun in a dune buggy with the director, eat delicious food, experience the most CHIC hotel… a lot of fun was packed in to those 4 days. But I must say the most rewarding part of this experience was witnessing the force that is Kardinal Offishall. His hip hop ambassador status aside, I felt I was in the presence of an extraordinarily generous & compassionate individual with lots of love & happiness to spread. His positive energy was crazy contagious & I would jump very far & fast at the opportunity to work around him again. Here is just one of the many ways he spreads the good- http://www.freethechildren.com/ I have BIG LOVE for Kardi & all that he puts out in the world!
I am so very grateful to have had the chance to once again see Director Cazhmere do her thing. Making over 100 videos in 10 years, every second around this superwoman is a chance to learn & I do hope she’ll bring me along on more of her adventures!! ( plus she’s a bad ass dune buggy driver!)
BIG Thanks to CHIC Hotel in Punta Cana & the sexy Sunwing Vacations for all of the luxury, comfort, delicious food, incredible customer service & for being the most exciting vacation company of all!
Here are some of our favourite frames from the making of “Baby It’s You”, edited by my biz partner & editing babe extraordinaire, Tennille Heinonen.
I LOVE this song!! & can’t wait to see the video!!

“‘The Nightmare in the Afterhour‘ is a lyrical documentation of the last 4 years of my life— partying and surviving in downtown Toronto while also observing. I create through experience, and my own personal poetic interpretation of how I see the world. Everything that you will hear and the feelings you will experience while listening to NITA is a Toronto night in it’s rawest form. And, it’s all fuelled by whatever drug I was on at the time.”
The Narcicyst back at it again, pushing creative boundaries with his music and movement.
Set in 2025, business man Jamal El-Nargisee finds himself battling a
personal coup. With his imagination wrecking havoc on his reality,
Jamal wonders whether his forgotten creativity was crushed by his
business acumen or if he has lost his mind in the grind. RISE is an ego
trip, a short music film based on Narcy’s new LP World War Free Now and an ode to the saying; what goes up, must come down.
RISE
