Above is a video Maestro did recently of actor Danny Trejo (Blood in Blood out, From Dusk Till Dawn, Bubble Boy, Anchorman, etc etc.) recording vocals for a new BRISK! ice tea animated commercial.
About a year ago, I got in touch with Levi Maestro; an up and coming LA film maker who’s online series Maestroknows has become a whos-who of the most genuine and talented members of up and coming (and some times established) music/fashion/photo/skate/or anything else culture. I gave Levi a few beats in hopes he’d use them for a commerical or episode of Maestroknows; and he came through!
I’ve learned from Levi’s business model (and success) that YOU can in fact be a marketable brand as a producer, photographer, or whatever you are. The need to network with those who share similar mindsets and related talents, while producing professional quality material (whether music, video or otherwise) is the best way to make long term relationships and create a lasting buzz in the industry. Levi’s done episodes with everyone from Bun B, to skater Geoff Rowley, to film maker Va$htie, to stylist Ibn Jaspser; and something about every episode is uniquely inspiring. Check out some other ads he’s done for brands like Belvedere Vodka, and Vans, and Nike.
Stay Tuned.
