JUSTIN NOZUKA

DREAMS & ENDLESS NIGHTS (2023)

Justin Nozuka’s 5th studio album, Daydreams & Endless Nights, explores the idea of duality between the conscious and subconscious realms. This is communicated visually by way of surreal imagery, split-screens and rotated elements to establish the yin-yang nature of the concept.

DYLAN SINCLAIR

NO LONGER IN THE SUBURBS (2022)

The theme of NLITS was transition – from the suburbs to the city, from the shadows to the light and from teenager to young adult. What I Like crafted a stylized backdrop to Dylan’s real-life experiences embarking on his career outside of his hometown.

No Longer in the Suburbs was nominated for Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year at the 2023 JUNO Awards.

What I Like collaborated with Daniela on Tamale, a project rooted in self-discovery. Her transition from YouTube cover star to R&B original was supported with a mature and refined brand presence – paying homage to her upbringing, family and culture.
